STORYLINE:
Dignitaries gathered in Qunu, South Africa, for the funeral of Nelson Mandela's last surviving son, Makgatho.
Hours after Makgatho died in a Johannesburg hospital last week, Mandela announced that his son was HIV positive and had died of an AIDS-related complications.
Mandela said his announcement was a plea for everyone to be more open about the disease, which kills about 600 South Africans a day.
Mandla Mandela, Makgatho's son, told mourners his mother Zondi died of the same disease. Previously the family had said she died of pneumonia.
Among the 4,000 people who attended the funeral at the former president's Eastern Cape home were his former wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, President Thabo Mbeki, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, business leaders, Zulu royalty and local villagers.
Tutu said a prayer at the funeral, during which a gaunt Mandela was supported by his wife Graca Machel.
More than five million of South Africa's 45 million people are infected with HIV - more than in any other country - but until this year, the government refused to provide life-prolonging anti-retroviral drugs through the public health system, citing concerns about their safety and cost.
It has now promised to provide free treatment to all who need it within five years.
Mandela has been an outspoken AIDS campaigner, criticising the government for its slow reaction to combat the disease.
Makgatho Mandela, an attorney, was one of four children from Nelson Mandela's first marriage to Evelyn Mase, who died last year at 82.
Of the other three children, a daughter died in 1948 before she was a year old and another son was killed in a car crash in 1969.
Makgatho Mandela is survived by four sons - one of them from a previous marriage.

Nelson Mandela legacy will live on forever
“A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.”
― Nelson Mandela
The worst thing of a father is surviving to your own son.
No parent should bury a child 😢
The whole point of mentioning AIDS is to remove the stigma around AIDS making it a public topic so as to address the issue. Mandela R.I.P
You are mistaken, they mention AIDS to legitimize the HIV lie! you don't believe me? get into the rabbit hole and start doing research on the subject. Forget everything you have been told... Start with "Inventing the HIV virus" by Peter Duesburg and "AIDS Inc." by Jon Rappoport. We have been lied to by those who cooperate with Synagogue of Satan where all lies come from.
So. Sad a father burying his son.
RIP :(
how did I get here?
Why mentioning AIDS
My question exactly. Why do you mention the illness?
That’s what he died from
mmh respect
The One thing In the Movie Mandela Was inaccourate Was that Mandela had 6 kids not 3.
Not 6 but more some are not mentioned just to keep the Legacy hence I hate ANC its about the legacy
videos di tsosa diletseng
His wife died in 2003 from “pneumonia”. I believe he got HIV from numerous affairs & passed it on to his wife.
The love Graca had for him is amazing. she holds him, guides his walking. Oh Graca must be really missing the ol man.
