HATIMAYE NELSON MANDELA ATOKA HOSPITALI NA KULEJEA NYUMBANI KWAKE.

Nelson Mandela spent his first night in many weeks at his home in Johannesburg on Sunday after being discharged from hospital in Pretoria.

The former South African president, 95, was admitted in early June for a recurring lung infection.

Family members have spoken of their happiness at having Mr Mandela home again after nearly three months.

However the South African government has said his condition remains critical and can sometimes be unstable.

Mr Mandela returned home by ambulance early on Sunday and would continue to receive intensive care there, a statement from the South African presidency said.

His suburban house in the suburb of Houghton has been "reconfigured" for his care.

However, the presidency said he would be readmitted to hospital should his condition warrant it.

The BBC's Mike Wooldridge in Johannesburg says all this seems designed to reassure not just the Mandela family but the nation, too, that he should be no more vulnerable when his condition is unstable than he was in hospital in Pretoria.

Serikali ya Afrika Kusini inasema kuwa rais wa zamani, Nelson Mandela, ametolewa hospitali ambako amekuwa akitibiwa mapafu tangu mwezi wa Juni.

Taarifa katika tovuti ya rais wa Afrika Kusini imeeleza kuwa Bwana Mandela bado ni mahtuti na hali yake wakati mwengine inabadilika.

Lakini madaktari wake wanaamini akiwa nyumbani kwake mjini Johannesburg atapata matibabu sawa na yale ya hospitali.

Nyumba ya Bwana Mandela imebadilishwa ili kumruhusu kupata matibabu ya mgonjwa mahtuti akiwa nyumbani.

Serikali imesema inamtakia mema wakati akiendelea na matibabu.
