Across the country on Monday, South Africans continued to celebrate the life of the anti-apartheid hero. Just after dawn a two-mile-long motorcade of cars full of ANC supporters left Cape Town for the former Victor Verster prison, the last jail where Mandela was held and where, emerging alongside his former wife Winnie with his fist raised triumphantly, he marked his transformation from revolutionary fighter to elder statesman.

Inside the on-site house, a candle burned on the table where a historic settlement was reached between Mandela and the then president, FW de Klerk. "I'm feeling emotional, sad, but also honoured to have been alive during his lifetime," said Jo-Anne Aranes, a cleaner whose car was plastered in the green, gold and black of the ANC flag. Her 10-year-old daughter had accompanied her. "It's extra-special to me because my daughter is here to learn our history," she said.

据英国《卫报》12月9日报道，古巴主席劳尔·卡斯特罗将于12月10日与美国总统奥巴马及南非总统祖马一起，在曼德拉的葬礼上发表追悼讲话，这将是有史以来规模最大的一场葬礼。

此次追悼会在约翰内斯堡举行，仪式第一部分包括不同宗教信仰者进行祈祷并默哀，曼德拉四个孙子分别致颂词，巴西，纳米比亚，印度和古巴的首脑及中国副主席将发表讲话，南非总统祖马将会做主旨发言。整个追悼活动将在周日曼德拉下葬时达到最高潮。
