Ramaphosa: ‘Heaven’s red carpet awaits Madiba'

‘Heaven’s red carpet awaits Madiba’ - Nelson Mandela | IOL News | IOL.co.za: "ANC deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday encouraged South Africans to emulate former president Nelson Mandela.

Speaking at interfaith prayers at the Standard Bank Arena in Johannesburg, Ramaphosa said Mandela had left ANC members with a legacy of loyalty, discipline, tolerance and unity.

President Jacob Zuma had been scheduled to speak at the event, but was held up with Mandela's memorial and burial plans, said Ramaphosa.

He said he was sure that Mandela would find members of the ANC waiting for him in heaven.

“Mandela will find a branch of the ANC,” said Ramaphosa.

“They will roll out a red carpet and say Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, welcome home.”"
