Nelson Mandela leaves hospital

Former South African President Nelson Mandela smiles for photographers in Johannesburg
Nelson Mandela has left hospital and has returned to his Johannesburg home, where he is continuing to receive intensive care, the South African Presidency has announced. A statement on the Presidency's website says South Africa's first democratically elected President's condition remains critical and, at times, unstable. The statement reads: "His team of doctors are convinced that he will receive the same level of intensive care at his Houghton home that he received in Pretoria [hospital]". It adds that his home has been "reconfigured to allow him intensive care there", and he will be treated by the same health personell as in hospital.
