<p>Former South African president Nelson Mandela is doing well, a day after being discharged from hospital, a spokesman said.</p>
<p>Doctors woke Mr Mandela up from a nap when acting president Kgalema Motlanthe arrived to visit him at his home on Saturday afternoon, Mr Motlanthe&#8217;s spokesman Thabo Masebe said.</p>
<p>From his bed, Mr Mandela told Mr Motlanthe he was happy to return home where his friends and family could visit him, unlike in the hospital where visits were restricted.</p>
<p>The 92-year-old recently spent two nights in a Johannesburg hospital for what his doctor said was a respiratory infection.</p>
<p>&#8220;When we arrived to see him, his wife indicated that (earlier) he was sitting in the living room with the family,&#8221; Mr Masebe said. &#8220;The doctor came in the morning, was happy with his condition and left.&#8221;</p>
<p>Officials have said Mr Mandela&#8217;s office received more than 10,000 letters of good wishes, including from US President Barack Obama.</p>
<p>A Johannesburg talk radio station held a small candle-lighting ceremony and asked South Africans to light candles at home to show support for Mr Mandela after he left the hospital.</p>
<p>The gesture, promoted by Talk Radio 702, sent positive energy to the former president, affectionately known by his clan name Madiba, event organiser Yusuf Abramjee said. &#8220;We owe it to Madiba and his family,&#8221; Mr Abramjee said. &#8220;Some senior government officials came to me with the idea yesterday, and South Africans latched on to it immediately.&#8221;</p>
<p>Carmen Reddy, of Talk Radio 702, said: &#8220;He deserves love and support to show him that South Africans are there. We want Madiba to get well, and this is a great way to show him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Masebe said Mr Motlanthe will visit Mr Mandela regularly during this period. Doctors said they will continue to monitor Mr Mandela&#8217;s condition closely, Mr Masebe added.</p>
