I watched the funeral service live from my living room in Kenya and I must commend SABC for the splendid coverage of the event. Mandela did a lot for South Africa and Iam saddened to see that what he fought for is not being upheld by the current regime.Please do not fail Mandela. Ahmed Kathrada's speech of recognizing other freedom fighter outside ANC was commendable. Samwel Rugut, Kericho, Kenya.
This is extraordinary. I hope leaders everywhere learn from this and make changes in the way they govern. Thank you Mandela for your example. Thank you for living in this day and age. I feel honoured to have shared this era with you. RIP!!! Long live Africa. May Africa prosper and develop!!!
And so I learned, in this livestream, how hard it is to ignore this anger. More so respect for Mandela and may his teachings travel through all.. Namasté
Hamba Kahle Tata, your body shall now rest in the beautiful hills of Qunu. Thank you sabcdigitalnews for giving us an opportunity to have shared in this last event of our Madiba RIP.
The Chief of the Abathembu and an Advisor to the King, the first democratically elected President of South Africa. May his soul Rest in Peace, he had done it all. Aaaah! Dal'bhunga!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! Dal'bhunga!!! This wasn't just any man, this was a Chief of the Abathembu and a Hand to The King.... We are proud of you Yem Yem, you had done a lot for South Africans, not just blacks but every South African.... Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! Dal'bhunga!!!
South Africa as a nation is a far cry from equality, there might be political change but the country remains divided both socially and economically. The speech given by the former Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda at the Mandela funeral service came from an old, but wise and sharp man, he knows that the struggle is far from over in South Africa. Mark my words, you white people who keep insulting Mandela will one day wish he was alive, South Africa has deep wounds that have remained fresh to date.
Chanda Chansa Millions of Black South Africans wish Mandela was still in power- if he had age & health on his side. It is up to the next generation of Black & White South Africans to take ownership of Mandelas Legacy, and it will happen. South Africa will have its Rainbow Spring, I just hope its not a violent one.
once again thank u all. it was awesome to share these memorable hours together. god bless u and ur families. merry christmas with love, peace, forgiveness and reconciliation to all, like tata madiba taught us. long live president tata madiba nelson rolihlahla mandela! we lobe u madiba, and u live in our hearts and in history for ever. amandla! awethu!
There is something wrong with the video from my end. It refuses to play all the way through. Can someone at the SABC please attend to that. Thank you in advance
so much hatred in below comments. Nelson Mandela did a lot for south africa and turned the country into a wonderful democratic society and fought for all of us. He is a person we all look up to. One of the greats. He will be missed. Gone but never forgotten.
Long Live the Liberation Struggle! Long Live A United, Prosperous and an Equal South Africa! Long Live the Rainbow Motherland Nation! Long Live our Great Freedom Fighter, Teacher, President, Revolutionary, Liberator and Unifier of South Africa, Comrade Nelson Mandela!
brothers sisters Medba said forgiveness begins he was an inspiration to the world I would like to say RIP Medeba never failed us. Medeba has taught me a lot he is so right forgiveness GOD BLESS SOUTH AFRICA THE RAINBOW NATION NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN WILL ARPTIED APPEAR SA is a beautiful country arptied made it ugly but no more brothers sisters Let us remember what he taught us & the world Medeba RIP U WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
RIP.Mandela. has left a part of if many people ... Unfortunately, there has always been inequality and injustice, but there will always be someone trying to show us that we can change, one cannot make a difference, but it shows us the way of humility, only together can we change things ... just need to have the initiative and have a good heart...
RIP a great man has gone to rest. The lessons of reconciliation and forgiveness for humanity resonates far and wide. Many men can talk but few can endure long enough for change. May God bless the road and your life here on earth. I am sure He is saying: well done my good and faithful servant.
those who are busy still passing negative comment about President Zuma, may you please have some maturity in passing your comments for this is a funeral gathering and not some political arena, his speech was good, infact everything was well from the beginning...
As with its hosting of the World Cup, South Africa has this ability to deliver the technological logistics required of a major event like Mandelas funeral without losing the soul and character of Her People. This mornings service was a fitting end to a 10 day celebration of Mandelas legacy, a beautiful and measured contrast to the carnival feeling of the previous 9; and the political theatre around Zuma has been compelling equalled only by the steely stares from the formidable Winnie and Rochelle.
For anyone who has been disrespectful here, Dont give him the reply. Just ignore him. If you need to reply just flag his comment as innapropriate or spam
At last our African hero ,can sleep forever, in peace and dignity. Madeba.Yemem. Tata Mandela a man who fought to achieve freedom to the people of the south Africa , gave special spiritual to us in middle and north Africa ,to free our people from Arab-muslim Apartheid

RIP, Mandela. You were wonderfully influential regarding the genocide and mass exodus of over 1 million white farmers. You were truly worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize while still on the U.S. terrorist watch list. S.A. might not have crumbling infrastructure, or be commonly regarded as the murder, rape, and A.I.D.S. capitol of the world if it weren't for your fine efforts. * dons symbolic rubber necklace and sings "kill the boer" in mandela's honor. Anyone got a match? My skin is lookin a little too pale this time of year.
Brad Pitt Why do you keep calling Mandela a terrorist? Do you know that Mandela tried to fight Apartheid in a peacefull way at first? He was forced to use violence because the opposites did also. Do you find this very strange. He stood up for his own people. He coulnt stand the see his people being oppressed. White people should had never come to Africa. But the truth is they had nothing, so they had to go abroad. Do you know how many things white ppl stole from Africa, India China etc etc. They raped our woman, killed our men. Made us slaves, mislead us. Tricked many people into Christianity , (I dont have anything against religion) If it werent for us you people still would live in fucking caves.
What the fuck were they doing there the first place? You can give me a 1000 arguements about the boers, that still doesnt justify the things the white people did to our people.
trading??? robbing/plundering if you ask me..dont you have a kkk channell to watch or something. Why you keep disturbing people and being disrespectfull?
We are, the Sudanese people pay triply to Nelson Mandela, because he believe that the Sudanese political system today is typical like the late South African Apartheid . He had has no relationship with Khartoum atoll, and never visit Sudan after become free. even that was sad but good to not give any support to Arab-Muslim's Apartheid in Sudan .
JJP WAR - can you please act dignified and stop your ignorance and let us mourn in peace. You are only seeking to invoke a reaction, and we will not give you the pleasure. If you can not respect your fellow human beings, then return to your box.
It is true, this is a bored person who does not have shame and anything better to do. Dont give him the reply. Just ignore him. If you need to reply just flag his comment as innapropriate or spam
Dumisani Kunene Yes.. You are wright. But I also think UA-cam should provide admins on such historical livestreams and makes sure these asses don't get another word in!
May Dal'bhunga's soul RIP... He had sacrificed so much for us to be letting ego-driven people work us. Let us lead by Madiba example and forgive them, they have no idea who Madiba was...

Who has a nerve to dislike this video. #Haters
Be ashamed and let us mourn in peace. Dont you have something constructive and better to do
anyone know the name of the that song that plays around 5:00 mins in ???
Why does this video stop playing a quarter way in, till the end? Just image flashes after that, did the broadcast go wrong?
The video is messed up stops playing for me at 36 mins someone from SABC please fix it
Rest In Please. Love you Nelson Mandela.

Of course everyone is a Mandela fan now but I doubt any of those heard any of his songs!
Am I the only one who can't watch the full vid. After a certain point it either stops or the video goes all weird on me.
At last our African hero ,can sleep forever, in peace and dignity.

George Washington was also regarded as a terrorist by the British Monarch, today he's an American hero, a libertarian as they call him.

I dont feel sorry for the "boers". They are the real terrorists in my eyes. Trying to take over a country thats not even theirs.
What the fuck were they doing there the first place? You can give me a 1000 arguements about the boers, that still doesnt justify the things the white people did to our people.
trading??? robbing/plundering if you ask me..dont you have a kkk channell to watch or something. Why you keep disturbing people and being disrespectfull?

Jjp War is a sad example of a fool who was severely beaten by his parents as a kid....
We are, the Sudanese people pay triply to Nelson Mandela, because he believe that the Sudanese political system today is typical like the late South African Apartheid .
He had has no relationship with Khartoum atoll, and never visit Sudan after become free. even that was sad but good to not give any support to Arab-Muslim's Apartheid in Sudan .

May Dal'bhunga's soul RIP... He had sacrificed so much for us to be letting ego-driven people work us. Let us lead by Madiba example and forgive them, they have no idea who Madiba was...
