Today, Tuesday 10th December 2013 is the Memorial for the late former south african president Nelson Rohlilahla Mandela.
Tens of thousands of South Africans and scores of world leaders are preparing to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela at a memorial service in Johannesburg's FNB Stadium.
President Barack Obama, the First Lady, Michelle Obama, and three former US Presidents - George W Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter are scheduled to attend the event. The Obamas, as well as UK Prime Minister David Cameron and other dignataries are already in south africa for the event.
It is reported that this event is going to be the biggest in the history of south africa.
Graca Machel, the wife who nursed Mr Mandela through his later years and his second wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela are at the venue and the two women embraced as they took their seats at the memorial.
South Africans who are not able to gain entry to the stadium will be able to watch at several public venues around the country where big screens have been erected.
HE WAS IN PRISON FOR 27YRS OF HIS LIFE, AND HE STILL MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE WORLD. R. I. P.
