The saddest goodbye

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."
