South Africa has begun a week of remembrance for Nelson Mandela, who died last week at the age of 95. President Obama is among the foreign dignitaries attending a memorial on Tuesday at a soccer stadium in Soweto. On Sunday, South Africans held a day of prayer for Mandela in congregations across the country. The Archbishop Desmond Tutu paid tribute in Cape Town.

Desmond Tutu: “We are relieved that his suffering is over, but our relief is drowned in our grief. We pray that he will rest in peace and rise in glory. People cared about Madiba, loved him because of his courage, convictions.”

The commemorations will end with Mandela’s burial Sunday in his home village of Qunu. We’ll have more on Nelson Mandela’s life and legacy later in the broadcast when we speak with Rev. Jesse Jackson.
