Nelson Mandela was released from a South African hospital Sunday after nearly two weeks of treatment.  Mandela was hospitalized for a lung infection, later revealed to be pneumonia.

South African President Jacob Zuma asked the world to pray for Mandela who, at 94 years old, has run into reoccurring health issues.

According to a statement from Zuma’s office, Mandela’s condition has improved, but he will  require further treatment. “The former President will now receive home-based care,” the statement said.
