Mandela's long walk comes to end

Mandela's long walk comes to end | News24: "Nelson Mandela was buried on Sunday in the African ground he loved after a funeral ceremony that included a 21-gun salute and fly-overs by military aircraft, as well as a eulogy by a traditional leader.

Mandela's casket was lowered into the earth after military pallbearers carried it to the family gravesite in the rolling hills of Qunu.

TV broadcasts showed Mandela's casket at the family gravesite, but the broadcasting was stopped just before the coffin was buried at the request of the Mandela family.

It was SA's final goodbye to the man who reconciled the country in its most volatile period."
