WINNIE MADIKIZELA-MANDELA, the ex-wife of former South African president Nelson Mandela, was discharged from a Johannesburg hospital Monday, her doctor said. Madikizela-Mandela (64) was admitted to hospital on Friday for high blood pressure after paying her respects to the family of deceased Aids icon Nkosi Johnson. “I think it was the stress that made her blood pressure rise. But she’s okay now and on her way home,” said the doctor, Lumandea Mbuyamba. He said Madikizela-Mandela was taken to hospital after her nose started bleeding while she was visiting Gail Johnson, the foster mother of Nkosi. The 12-year-old Nkosi became a symbol of children’s battle against Aids before he died Friday.
