Nelson Mandela returns home from hospital

Mr Mandela's return will be a relief for his family

Former South African President Nelson Mandela has returned to his home in Johannesburg after a long stay in hospital in Pretoria.

The 95-year-old was admitted with a recurring lung infection on 8 June.

Last week he was said to be critical but stable and "showing great resilience", and there has been no official update on him since then.

The country's first black president, Mr Mandela is revered by many as the father of the nation.

His prolonged hospital stay has caused concern both in South Africa and abroad.

The infection is said to date back to a period of nearly three decades he spent in prison for anti-apartheid activity.

The BBC's Mike Wooldridge in Johannesburg says it will be a relief for his family and for the nation that Mr Mandela has improved sufficiently for the journey to be made and for him to be cared for at home.

People from South Africa and around the world have sent him their best wishes, and flowers and other tributes have collected outside Pretoria's MediClinic Heart Hospital.

Throughout Mr Mandela's stay in hospital, President Jacob Zuma urged the country to pray for him and keep him in their thoughts.

Madiba! Against all odds!

I remember back in June when it looked like he was already near the end. I firmly refused to speculate on his demise, telling my wife that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't end up outlasting some perfectly healthy people who were at that point debating how many hours he had left to live. People who would succumb to accidents and sudden death any moment from then.

The guy strong. I was thinking the next news will be his funeral arrangements. Given what his grandson did I'm sure some family members were too.

The south African government denied the information just few minutes after the BBC put it up.
