Driving around Joburg to see some of the tribute sites and then going on to pay our respects at Nelson Mandela's Houghton home
Flags flown at half mast outside the City Hall
The Mandela Bridge as seen from the M1
The ABSA building had an electronic signboard alternating between a candle and the words
"Lala ngoxolo Tata, you've left behind a nation inspired by hope." and Rest in peace Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela 1918-2013"
Driving across the Mandela Bridge
Approaching 12 Ave, Houghton
The flowers took up the entire intersection and were piled waist high - very pretty and yet sad too
There were flowers, letters, flags, paintings, teddy bears, candles and
so much more showing the love
so much more showing the love
Even the trees were wrapped in South African Flag colours
You could also buys some momentos while you were there
Hamba Kahle Madiba
