Nelson Mandela has returned to his Johannesburg residence after being discharged from hospital where he’d been treated for pneumonia1 for the past ten days. Milton Nkosi has more.
纳尔逊·曼德拉过去十天在医院接受肺炎治疗，目前已回到约翰内斯堡的住处。弥尔顿·恩考斯报道。
We know that he’s been treated for a lung infection which has a history dating back to his prison years when he was on Robben Island and that may have resulted in him getting TB which he was treated for in Capetown in the late 80s and that is where the history of this lung infection comes from. And now South Africans across the racial divide are having a self relief given that he is now back at home and the message from the President’s office is that he is improving and he’s had a sustained improvement in his hospital condition.
我们了解到曼德拉的肺部感染要追溯到他在罗本岛坐监的岁月，20世纪80年代他在开普敦所治的病可能也由此而来，他的肺部感染也是那时候落下的根。如今他回到家里，南非各族人都松了一口气，总统办公室的消息称曼德拉的病情在好转，他的病情得到持续改善。
South Sudan has started to pump oil again ending a bitter 15-month row with Sudan that’s cost both countries billions of dollars in lost revenues. Oil production was halted early last year after landlocked South Sudan accused its neighbour of hiking transit2 fees to pipe the oil to international markets via Port Sudan. Emi Suhardi Mohd Fadzil is president of one of the companies operating in the South. He says the decision will benefit South Sudan.
南苏丹现已开始抽出石油，这结束了与苏丹长达15个月的激烈争执，两国都因这场争执失去了数十亿美元的收入。去年年初，内陆国家南苏丹指责苏丹向通过苏丹港送往国际市场的石油收取过高的过路费。Emi Suhardi Mohd Fadzil是在南苏丹钻探的公司的总裁，他说该决定将使南苏丹收益。
“We keep saying when the oil flew then the nation glow, so yeah, I think South Sudan’s economy is going to revive. And always these are oil resumption. The economy of South Sudan practically depends on oil so now the oil has flown, so it should be better for the nation.”
“我们不断地说，只要石油流动起来，这个国家就发展起来，我认为南苏丹的经济正在复苏。恢复了石油钻探，南苏丹的经济特别依赖石油，所以如今石油流出来，这对这个国家有好处。”

The 60-year-old woman was stripped naked, her head shaved and was fed excrement19 as well as been badly beaten. The assault was apparently20 sanctioned by the village council after a local woman said she had used witchcraft21 to cause death.
