Anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela might get discharged from hospital soon to recuperate at home, a former president of South Africa said, according to Daily News&Analysis. Doctors are said to have ruled out switching off Mandela's life support machines unless there is serious organ failure, reports AFP.

While Mandela continues to undergo treatment at the Mediclinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria for a recurring lung infection, the whole country is gearing up for Mandela's 95th birthday on July 18, which is also Nelson Mandela International Day, informs AllAfrica.com.
