Johannesburg - Former president Nelson Mandela will
continue to receive home-based medical care at his house in Houghton, the
presidency said on Friday.
"I assume everything is going okay," said
presidency spokesperson Mac Maharaj, adding that doctors would inform him if
there were any changes.
Mandela has been receiving high care at home after he was
discharged from hospital on Wednesday.
On 8 December, he was flown to a Pretoria hospital from
his home in Qunu in the Eastern Cape and later diagnosed with a lung infection.
He also underwent gallstone surgery during his hospital
stay.
On Thursday cops, German tourists and journalists were
among those spotted outside Madiba's Johannesburg home.
Mandela has a history of lung problems, having suffered
from tuberculosis towards the end of his 27-years spent in prison.
His recent hospital stay was his longest since he was
released from prison over two decades ago.
