NELSON Mandela may be discharged from hospital soon to recuperate at home, said a former president of South Africa.
The prediction about Mandela leaving the hospital was made by Thabo Mbeki as he gave a memorial lecture for the African National Congress on Saturday, reported the South African radio news service Eyewitness News yesterday.
Mandela has been hospitalized for more than five weeks for a recurring lung infection, sparking an outpouring of support. Friends who have visited him say he is on life support in the form of mechanical ventilation. The most recent official update on his health said Mandela was in critical but stable condition.
The anti-apartheid hero spent 27 years in jail before becoming South Africa's first black president in 1994. He turns 95 on Thursday.
