Mandela go's back home after tests

PEACE icon Nelson Mandela is back home after spending a night in hospital for a "scheduled medical check-up", the South African president's office says.
"Former President Nelson Mandela has this afternoon ... returned to his Johannesburg home following a successful medical examination at a Pretoria hospital," presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said in an emailed statement.

"The doctors have completed the tests. He is well and as before, his health remains under the management of the medical team," said Maharaj.
Mandela had been admitted on Saturday for "a scheduled medical check-up to manage the existing conditions in line with his age", less than three months after being treated for a lung infection and gallstones.
News of his latest hospitalisation sparked concern the 94-year-old had fallen ill again.
Mandela underwent treatment for a recurrent lung infection and surgery to extract gallstones over Christmas, during his longest stint in hospital since his release from prison in 1990.
He was discharged the day after Christmas and was last known to be convalescing at his Johannesburg home.
The revered statesman has not appeared in public since South Africa's Football World Cup final in 2010, six years after retiring.
Since then he has stayed out of the public eye at his rural home village Qunu in the Eastern Cape.
The last confirmed image of the statesman was a picture taken with then-US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, when she visited him last August.
At the beginning of February two of his granddaughters released a picture of a smiling Mandela sitting with his youngest great-grandson in an arm-chair.
It was taken to show his recovery after his December hospitalisation, they said while promoting their new reality show, Being Mandela.
