“He is not yet fully recovered, but he has sufficiently moved forward so that he can be discharged,” Mac Maharaj told Africa news broadcaster eNCA.

“He is sufficiently well to be home.”

On December 8, Mandela was admitted to a hospital in the South African capital Pretoria operated by the military after being flown from his home village of Qunu, which is in a remote, rural part of the Eastern Cape Province. Officials later announced that he was being treated for a lung infection. They are now stating that Mandela also underwent surgery for removal of gallstones on December 15.

In recent days, officials have said he was improving and in good spirits, but doctors have taken extraordinary care with his health because of his age.

Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj says the 94 year-old Nobel laureate will receive more medical care at his Johannesburg home until he fully recovers. Maharaj requested that the public respect Mandela’s privacy at this time. Nelson Mandela Released From Hospital
