Nelson Mandela was discharged from the hospital Sunday after initially being admitted in June for a lung infection. He is still in critical condition.

Mr Mandela was taken by ambulance to his home in Johannesburg which has been set up to provide intensive care.

In a statement, the government said: 'Madiba's condition remains critical and is at times unstable.

'Nevertheless, his team of doctors are convinced that he will receive the same level of intensive care at his Houghton home that he received in Pretoria.'

Former President H.W. Bush is also dealing with health problems of his own.

He was unable to attend the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial last Wednesday because his old age has confined him to a wheelchair.

据英国《每日邮报》报道，南非前总统曼德拉9月1日出院回家，美国第41任总统老布什当天竟然发表声明，向曼德拉“去世”表示哀悼。

他在声明中表示，“我和芭芭拉有幸认识这位最伟大的自由信徒之一，我们为他的去世表示哀悼。在任总统期间，我不无惊讶地看到他以非凡的胸襟，在度过26年冤狱生涯后毅然宽恕让他身陷囹圄的人，为我们大家树立了赎罪和风度的杰出典范，他以巨大的道德勇气，改变了他的国家的历史进程。我和芭芭拉非常尊重曼德拉总统，我们向他的家人和国人表示哀悼。”

对此，南非总统府表示曼德拉还活着。总统发言人麦哈拉杰纠正说，“这个声明显然有误。我们认为是他那边搞错了，但不会为此小题大做。”
