Former South African president Nelson Mandela has been discharged from hospital in Pretoria where he has been treated for nearly three months, Skynews reports.
“Madiba’s condition remains critical and is at times unstable,” the Presidency said, referring to the 95-year-old by his clan name.
Mandela was admitted on June 8 with a recurring lung infection and had previously been in a critical but stable condition, according to the office of President Jacob Zuma.
The government statement added: “His home has been reconfigured to allow him to receive intensive care there.
“The health care personnel providing care at his home are the very same who provided care to him in hospital.
“If there are health conditions that warrant another admission to hospital in future, this will be done.”
Zuma’s office said the elderly statesman has been treated by “a large medical team from the military, academia, private sector and other public health spheres”.
