Former South African President, Nelson Mandela, has been discharged from hospital following a scheduled medical check-up and “is doing well,” South Africa’s presidency said Sunday. “The doctors have completed the tests. He is well and as before, his health remains under the management of the medical team,” it said in a statement. A spokesman for the country’s president, Jacob Zuma, said there was “no need for panic,” and that the doctors had treated Mandela for a pre-existing condition consistent with his age.
