The President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, has said the country’s former President and anti-apartheid hero, Nelson Mandela, has recovered from his recent lung infection and surgical procedure to remove gallstones.
Zuma, in a statement on Sunday, doctors told him that Mandela has made “steady progress and that clinically, he continues to improve.”
He said said Mandela “continues to receive high care” at his Johannesburg home and “his daily routine is being gradually re-established.”
Zuma congratulated Mandela on his recovery and said the anti-apartheid icon has “the love and support of all South Africans.”
