JOHANNESBURG -- Former South African President Nelson Mandela has recovered from a lung infection and surgery to remove gallstones that kept him in the hospital for nearly three weeks, the government said Sunday. Mandela, 94, who has been in frail health for several years, spent most of December in a Pretoria hospital -- his longest stay for medical care since his release from prison in 1990. He has been receiving treatment at his Johannesburg home after he left the hospital Dec. 26. "President Mandela has made steady progress and clinically he continues to improve," the Office of the Presidency said in a statement. Mandela had recovered from his surgical procedure and the lung infection, it said, citing his medical team.
