Former South African president Nelson Mandela has been discharged from hospital after being treated for pneumonia.
The 94-year-old has been allowed to leave hospital this afternoon "following a sustained and gradual improvement in his general condition".
President Jacob Zuma's office said Mr Mandela would now receive "home-based" care.
A statement said: "President Zuma thanks the hard working medical team and hospital staff for looking after Madiba so efficiently."
He also extended his gratitude to all South Africans, friends of the nation and to people around the world for their support.
Spokesman Mac Maharaj told Sky News: "We are all very happy with the news and grateful to the doctors and the hospital staff for looking after so well.
"The doctors say that given his age, they have to monitor him very carefully and they have to remain cautious all the time.
"He is frail, and we need to take into account his age ... but Madiba is a fighter and he is not ready to say goodbye to us."
It has been the third health scare in four months for the anti-apartheid leader.
He was in hospital briefly in early March for a check-up and again in December for nearly three weeks with a lung infection and following surgery to remove gallstones.
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who became South Africa's first black president in 1994, is a global symbol of tolerance and the struggle for equality.
Mr Mandela stepped down as president in 1999 and has not been politically active for a decade.
He has a history of lung problems dating from when he contracted tuberculosis as a political prisoner.
He spent 27 years on Robben Island and in other jails for his attempts to overthrow the white-minority government.
