Nelson Mandela has returned to his Johannesburg residence after being discharged from hospital where he’d been treated for pneumonia for the past ten days. Milton Nkosi has more.

We know that he’s been treated for a lung infection which has a history dating back to his prison years when he was on Robben Island and that may have resulted in him getting TB which he was treated for in Capetown in the late 80s and that is where the history of this lung infection comes from.

South Sudan has started to pump oil again ending a bitter 15-month row with Sudan that’s cost both countries billions of dollars in lost revenues. Oil production was halted early last year after landlocked South Sudan accused its neighbour of hiking transit fees to pipe the oil to international markets via Port Sudan. Emi Suhardi Mohd Fadzil is president of one of the companies operating in the South. He says the decision will benefit South Sudan.

“We keep saying when the oil flew then the nation glow, so yeah, I think South Sudan’s economy is going to revive. And always these are oil resumption. The economy of South Sudan practically depends on oil so now the oil has flown, so it should be better for the nation.”
