Nelson Mandela contracted tuberculosis during his 27 years in prison
Nelson Mandela’s discharge from hospital after nearly three months of treatment shows he has made “progress”, South Africa’s president has said.
Jacob Zuma said South Africans were “very happy” that the anti-apartheid hero, 95, had returned home on Sunday.
Mr Mandela was admitted to a private hospital in the capital, Pretoria, in June for a recurring lung infection.
He is revered around the world for leading the fight against white minority rule in South Africa.
