The saddest goodbye - Gauteng | IOL News | IOL.co.za: "It started with President Jacob Zuma, the first citizen to pay his respects as Nelson Mandela lay in state at the Union Buildings on Wednesday.
He stood there for a while, looking at Madiba through the clear-topped casket, and bowed his head.
Then Graça Machel and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela followed.
Both in black.
Both with their hair covered.
Both physically leaning on aides for support.
Machel looked at the face in that casket for a long time, her hand resting in the casing.
As she walked out, she wiped away tears."
