WORLD – Crowds gathered in South Africa for the funeral of the anti-apartheid campaigner, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
Thousands of mourners crowded into a stadium in Soweto, near Johannesburg, where the campaigner was given a high-level send-off.
Her casket was draped in the national flag, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered the eulogy.
Mrs Madikizela-Mandela, former wife of Nelson Mandela, died earlier this month at the age of 81.

Bye-bye Mrs Mandela. I remember discussing you and your husband the great Nelson Mandela when I visited South Africa in HMS Devonshire where I was made an honorary white man. You kept your husband's name alive during his long incarceration at Robben Island; you were deprived of your God given liberty and tortured on many occasions. Yet, you continued to lead your people successfully through the pain and grief of those horrid apartheid years. May you rest in eternal peace with your husband.
Long live QUEEN WINNIE.
