Former South African president Nelson Mandela is recovering from a collapsed lung and could be released from hospital as early as Friday, a source close to Mr. Mandela told Reuters on Thursday.

The 92-year-old anti-apartheid icon was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital on Wednesday for what his foundation described as routine tests.

“Mandela was treated by military doctors and should be discharged tomorrow,” the source said, asking not to be named.

President Jacob Zuma and the ruling African National Congress appealed for calm on Thursday after the hospitalisation set off speculation in local media about Mr. Mandela’s health.

Best wishes and vibes to Mandela.
