The City of Tshwane will host a memorial service at Lucas “Masterpieces” Moripe Stadium on 12 December 2013 from 14h00 to honour the life of the first democratically elected president of South Africa and son of Africa. The service will enable Tshwane residents to pay their last tributes to Madiba and mourn his passing away.
The memorial service will be addressed by senior members of the national cabinet and interfaith community, supplemented by cultural performances and citations.
No public viewing areas will be staged tomorrow. People wishing to view the body at the Union Buildings, can only do so via the park-and-ride facilities at the Tshwane Events Centre, LC de Villiers Sports Facility in Hatfield and Fountains Valley Park.
The City has buses ready in all seven regions to ferry mourners to the Lucas Moripe Stadium at no cost to the community.
