Mandela discharged from hospital

JOHANNESBURG - Nelson Mandela was discharged on Sunday from an overnight hospital stay after a diagnostic probe showed nothing "seriously wrong" with the anti-apartheid icon, South Africa's presidency said.

"Former President Nelson Mandela has been discharged from hospital following his admission yesterday, Saturday 25 February," President Jacob Zuma's office said in a statement.

"The doctors have decided to send him home as the diagnostic procedure he underwent did not indicate anything seriously wrong with him."
