NATURE SALUTES NELSON MANDELA.

Today the man described as the greatest freedom fighter of the 20th and the 21st century lay in state recieving his last respect for good work done. Madiba as his people affectionately call him lived his life as a unifyer and indeed continue to do so even in death. People from different class, colour, size, profession, age, race etc etc are joining the long winding queue to bid this world icon fare thee well.Heaven open with heavy down pour during his memorial service.

In the Union building in Pretoria, the nation's capital,where he was sworn in as South Africa's first black president in 1994, his still and cold body lay in a casket only as mortal remains. But in all nature on the day of his memorial service opened-up the heavens and brought down heavy rain, today as the sunset, a beautiful shades of colours appeared in the sky as a gaint rainbow hanged up in Pretoria where he laid.
As custom demands, the public viewing ends before sunset then he is taken indoors and brought out the next morning. In Nelson Mandela 's case he will be taken to a military hospital overnight for the final public viewing tomorrow.
