Leader of the delegation Khubane Mashele who is also the chairperson of the South Africa traditional healers' interim council, called upon the spirits of those who had passed during the struggle to help heal the anti-apartheid icon.
"We summon the great kings and soldiers of the struggle to help us in calling the ancestors of Mandela, and help him heal because we still need him," Mashele said in xiTsonga during the ritual.
