Zimasa Mvngo and her little baby Ngcwele Bhengu place flowers for Tata Madiba at the Mandela Capture Site outside Howick. They were among residents from around KwaZulu-Natal yesterday paid their respects to former President Nelson Mandela who died in his home in Johannesburg on Thursday night (05 December 2013). Hundreds of people descended on the iconic Mandela Capture Site outside Howick to pay their tributes and to lay flowers at the memorial. Mandela was arrested at the site in 1962, and faced charges of conspiracy to overthrow the government. He spent 27 years incarcerated in Robin Island. Some mourners could not contain their emotions as they openly wept while others sang church hymns.
