This report focuses on the massive funeral services for Nelson Mandela in all parts of South Africa in December 1913. He is remembered for his long struggle against apartheid, his 27 year imprisonment, and his victory in the 1994 presidential elections that marked the end of white minority rule and the end of formal racial discrimination in South Africa. The report notes achievements made by post-apartheid governments in education, housing, water, and electricity, as well as the tremendous level of poverty and inequality still to be addressed. teleSUR
