South African former President Nelson Mandela is being discharged from a hospital where he spent two nights, doctors say.
Surgeon General Vijay Ramlakansay said Mr Mandela, 92, suffers from ailments that are usual in people his age, but is responding well to treatment.
Acting President Kgalema Motlanthe - using Mr Mandela's clan name - said: "Madiba is well."
He flew from Cape Town to Johannesburg on Wednesday for a check-up.
Friends and family visited him amid tight security on Thursday.
Earlier, a senior police officer told the BBC a convoy of vehicles was at the rear entrance of Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg, preparing to take Mr Mandela to his home in the suburb of Houghton.
Correspondents say the South African liberation hero has seemed increasingly frail on his rare public appearances since retiring from public life in 2004.
(p/s: thank God for saving and keeping a good people just like Nik Aziz (Malaysian Ulama') who still healthy after the heart attack twice.)
