Remembering Nelson Mandela. Today was a day of national reflection. There was no Bigger Church or congregation than the people at the Catholic Church in south africa. [ singing ] the sounds of soweto, of a nation on what is not just another sunday. [ singing ] the congregation of the biggest Catholic Church in this largely Christian Country celebrates Nelson Mandela in song and prayer. Similar services in all faiths are held across south africa in a day of reflection. We gather here to thank god for his life. We thank god for the blessing he bestowed on this world through the life of madiba. This church holds a special place in the history of Antiapartheid Movement. It was a sanctuary for protesters, sometimes violated by the police. So why do you think police threw tear gas inside the church to get them out. It was very bad.
