Former South African President Nelson Mandela,94, was discharged from the hospital on Saturday after being treated for pneumonia.
According to current South Africa President Jacob Zuma, Mandela has been steadily improving during his nearly two weeks of being hospitalized.
In a statement Saturday, Zuma thanked “the hard working medical team and hospital staff for looking after Madiba (Mandela) so efficiently.”
Mandela’s recent hospitalization was his third since December.
He spent 18 days in the hospital due to a lung infection and gall stones last December. Earlier this year he was hospitalized for additional tests.
