The former South African President Nelson Mandela has been discharged from hospital.

The country's presidency says the anti-apartheid leader has now returned home after what have been described as 'scheduled tests'.

There are growing concerns about the health of the 94-year-old after he suffered a lung infection and underwent surgery for gallstones last December.
