Leon Neal/AFP/Getty Images(JOHANNESBURG) -- Former South African president and anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela has been released from the hospital.
Government officials in South Africa say Mandela was discharged a short time ago to "undergo home-based" care "until he recovers fully."
Mandela, 94, spent nearly three weeks being treated for a lung infection and also had a procedure to remove gall stones.
