Mandela responding very well to treatment: surgeon general

JOHANNESBURG: South Africa's surgeon general said on Sunday that Nelson Mandela was responding "very well" to treatment and medication two days after the anti-apartheid hero was released from hospital.

Surgeon General Vejaynand Ramlakan said Mandela, 92, was still receiving care at home after being discharged from hospital Friday following treatment for an acute respiratory infection.

"This morning the medical team looking after the former president has reported that he has had a restful and peaceful night," Ramlakan said in a statement.

"He continues to be visited by close family and relatives. The close monitoring and 24-hour care from team of specialist continues."
