The day of prayer and reflection for Nelson Mandela began Sunday morning at the African Gospel Church in Orlando, an area of Soweto, Mandela's hometown.
The anti-apartheid icon died Thursday night of complications from a lung infection. He was 95 years old.
Fleur Nomthandazo has been coming to this church, her great-grandfather's church, every Sunday for the past six months to pray for Nelson Mandela's recovery. Today, she's here to pray for his family.
"We never cry when somebody dies," Nomthandazo says.
