South Africans continue to gather in Johannesburg and Soweto to pay tribute to their former leader, Nelson Mandela, who died on Thursday aged 95.

Crowds have been remembering his legacy, dancing and singing in front of Mandela's former home in Soweto.

He is to be accorded a state funeral on Sunday 15 December.

Mandela spent 27 years in jail before becoming South Africa's first black president in 1994.
