Nelson Mandela has been released from hospital.


Yesterday morning he was admitted to an unnamed hospital after a long-standing abdominal complaint.


This morning Defence Minister Lindiwe Sisulu said Mandela is healthy as can be for his age.


She continued to say that the 93-year-old former president underwent surgery to determine the cause of his abdominal ailment.
