SA struggles with logistics as 'the world comes to South Africa' for Mandela | News24: "South Africa struggled on Monday to meet the unprecedented logistical challenge of hosting close to 100 world leaders flying in from every corner of the globe for the memorial service of freedom icon Nelson Mandela.

Mandela died at his Houghton home in Johannesburg last Thursday, aged 95.

"The world literally is coming to South Africa," said the government's head of public diplomacy, Clayson Monyela.

"I don't think it has ever happened before," Monyela said of the wave of 91 leaders, including US President Barack Obama, bearing down on the country."
