Nukuu ya leo

"Mandela alikuwa na nidhamu, ni vyema tumuage kwa nidhamu, ni vyema tumuoneshe kila mmoja kuwa sisi tuna nidhamu.” Askofu Tutu. Sense of humour: Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson (left) chats with Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu arrive inside the FNB stadiumColourful: A woman dressed in the regalia of the South African national rugby team arriving at the stadiumPassion: The huge number of mourners at the ceremony is testimony to the impact Mandela made on his countryPaternal: Mandela was often known at 'Tata', or 'Father', by South Africans grateful for his legacyFilling the seats: The stadium, dubbed 'Soccer City', holds 90,000 but there have been overflow areas planned in advance as organizers are worried about an unruly turn outBanner: Supporters carrying a large sign which paid tribute to Mandela's lasting legacy in South Africa and the rest of the worldJovial: Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan (left) and retired Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu appear in good spirits as they arrive for the service
