The convoy with the hearse carrying former president Nelson Mandela is going through the streets of Mthatha as it makes its way to his home in Qunu in the Eastern Cape.

AbaThembu King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo, other clan elders, his family and government officials were at the airport to welcome Madiba's body to his home province.

The casket was carried from the plane by military bearers.

Madiba's former wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela hugged his teary widow Graca Machel.

The convoy will make the 46km journey to his final resting place.  People have come out in their numbers - for a guard of honour to welcome their hero home.
