Ms Mandela said that, for the past few months, she would tell her father that she loved him and that would see him again tomorrow.
"And maybe he would open his eyes for just a second and close those eyes," she said.
Ms Mandela said she believed her father had fought not just for political freedom but also for spiritual freedom.
"He talks about the fact that it takes courage to forgive. Forgiveness is a very difficult thing," she said.
"I think he knew that if he didn't forgive, he would be forever imprisoned spiritually. The lesson we can take from his life is to have the courage to forgive other people.
"None of us are born hating another - we are taught to hate and if you can teach a human being to hate you can also teach a human being to love, to embrace and to forgive."
