Nelson Mandela was discharged from hospital Friday after a doctor said he had "responded very well" to treatment for a lung infection.

Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, speaking at a press conference, repeated previous assurances, saying there was "no need for us to panic."

"There is no need for us to fear for Madiba's (Mandela's) health. He is in good health," Motlanthe said.

South Africa's surgeon-general, Vijay Ramlakan, confirmed Mandela, 92, had undergone "a few specialist investigations" after being admitted to hospital earlier this week.
