Anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela was discharged from hospital yesterday, but remains critically ill and will receive intensive care at his home, the South African government said. The 95-year-old had been in hospital for almost three months, receiving treatment for a respiratory illness.
The presidency said in a statement that he “remains critical and is at times unstable” and will be looked after by the same team of intensive care doctors at his Johannesburg home. “If there are health conditions that warrant another admission to hospital in future, this will be done,” AFP quoted the presidency as stating. An ambulance with police escort was seen arriving at his suburban home, north of Johannesburg, yesterday morning.
