Mandela released from hospital

Former South African President Nelson Mandela has been discharged from the hospital in the capital Pretoria following a routine medical check-up. "The doctors have completed the tests. He [Mandela] is well and as before, his health remains under the management of the medical team," a statement by the South African government said. The 94-year-old spent the night in the hospital where he was treated for a pre-existing condition consistent with his age. The anti-apartheid leader, who imprisoned for 27 years, has already returned to his home in Johannesburg
