Many guests, including Prince Charles, Richard Branson and Oprah Winfrey, gathered in the late Dr. Nelson Mandela's hometown, Qunu to pay tribute to the anti-apartheid leader who died on December 5 at the age of 95.
His burial was shown LIVE on practically all the news channels CNN, BBC, AlJazeera etc.
Still pained I never got to meet this icon.
Adieu Madiba.
