TV camera lights were switched on as Friday evening approached on the streets outside former president Nelson Mandela's house in Houghton.

A few journalists were still actively keeping a close watch on the entrance to his home, which had earlier been abuzz with activity when he returned from Milpark hospital after a two-and-a-half day stay.

Activity had normalised in Twelth Avenue, north of Johannesburg, with residents jogging and walking about after the street was reopened to the public. It had earlier been barricaded on both sides by police and monitored throughout the day.

Police presence had also somewhat abated.

Earlier in the day, two children were seen walking into former statemen Nelson Mandela's house, with a painting of what looked like the SA national flag.

The two were accompanied by Graca Michel's daughter.

A truck was also seen delivering catering utensils including dishes and urns.

It was announced on Friday that Mandela would receive home-based care for an acute respiratory infection. -
