Mandela leaves hospital home

Mandela leaves hospital home, Nelson Mandela has returned to his Johannesburg home after three months in hospital being treated for a recurring lung infection.

Mr Mandela’s discharge this morning from Pretoria’s Mediclinic Heart Hospital comes a day after confusion in the Mandela family over whether the 95-year-old former president had in fact been sent home.

Mr Mandela, whose condition is described as “critical" and "at times unstable," was admitted to hospital June 8 suffering from a recurring lung infection.

His home in the upscale Houghton neighbourhood of Johannesburg, already fitted with a hospital-like clinic, has been reconfigured to allow him to receive intensive care there, according to the statement issued by South African President Jacob Zuma’s spokesman.
