A memorial service was held to honor Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first black president and Nobel Prize winner. US President Obama and other leaders from the world were present at the event that took place at FNB Stadium.

World has ended for Nelson Mandela as the South African hero died on Thursday. The former South African President was a symbol of peace for millions of people across the globe. The new report states that on Sunday, it started a week of commemorations following the death of Nelson Mandela.

The ambulance in which Madiba was recently taken to the hospital had engine problems. Nelson Mandela is at an age of his life when he has been regularly been visiting hospital.

But, this time he had complained of lung infection. In context of health concerns, he was taken to visit the doctors. But it seems that there were certain problems with the ambulance.

Nelson Mandela was recently released from hospital as he got treated for a lung infection. Now, since the year 2012 has been over with this good news, President Jacob Zuma tied the same together reminding South Africans that he still needs to be in their prayers.

Ever since the news of Nelson Mandela's hospitalization for a recurring lung infection last Saturday, concerns about his health have been mounting across South Africa, because of the government's refusal to disclose where he is being treated.
