Mandela, 94, who has been in frail health for several years, spent most of December in a?Pretoria hospital?- his longest stay for medical care since his release from prison in 1990.

He has been receiving treatment at his?Johannesburg?home after he left hospital on Dec. 26.

"President?Mandela?has made steady progress and clinically, he continues to improve," the?Office of the Presidency?said in a statement.

Mandela?had recovered from his surgical procedure and the lung infection, it said, citing his medical team. He has made steady progress and was slowly returning to his daily routine.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate?Mandela?has a history of lung problems dating back to when he contracted tuberculosis as a political prisoner. He spent 27 years in prison, including 18 years on the windswept Robben Island off?Cape Town.

He became?South Africa's first black president after the first all-race elections in 1994 brought an end to apartheid.
