Tshepeng Moji adjusts his card on the wall, he comes to the hospital every day to make sure his card is still there, he stays across the road from the hospital.

 The St Anthony prayer group came to the Hospital to sing and pray for Madiba.

Emily Maree stands with a flower she came to put down for Madiba at the Heart Hospital where at that time, he was spending day number 26 in Hospital.


These are some of the photographs I have taken while doing duty outside Madiba's Houghton Home and the Hospital in Pretoria where he is receiving treatment. It really touches my heart to see all the people coming past every day putting down there messages to him. Reading some of these messages just proves what a great man Nelson Mandela is and how much he means to the people of South Africa.
