RIP- a nations father

Malema: They must treat me the same way as Madiba when I become president.

Interviewer : Maybe you should start with 27 years in jail.

Today the final farewell
Very sad day

How can they leave Archbish Tutu out of the 5000-person guest list for the funeral? I don't believe a word of their feeble excuses. He was good friends with Madiba, but his sin was he actually continued what Madiba stood for into his old age and made them all uncomfortable.

If they invite Mugabe to the funeral instead then I shall know for certain what this present ANC (nothing like the ANC of 20-30 years ago) stands for.

Zuma will never step down. Got tooooo many pals in high positions. They wont be happy giving up all there perks. And at the moment the people at the courts are his puppets. Maybe he would have to face the music for all his scandals if he step down. Im glad i got a brittish passport.

Joyce Banda is a great leader

I agree some very emotional moments at the funeral

Bishop Tutu was present at the funeral and gravesite, however it seems that someone gave him the snub as he preached at the funerals of Steve Biko, Chris Hani and Walter Sisulu and was expected to also be accredited at the funeral of his close friend Madiba.

Madiba stayed with Bishop Tutu when he was released from prison in 1990.Seems like the present leadership has not been his cup of tea and he actually did an about-turn and attended Madiba's funeral as earlier he went on record as saying he did not want to " gate-crash ".

Some of the celebraties that attended the proceedings in Qunu today.
