Heart-wrenching Mandela tribute flashmob held in South Africa supermarket

(ADW) In what is probably one of the most moving tributes to Nelson Mandela last week, a surprise flash mob took place in a Johannesburg supermarket.

The local Woolworths in a suburb known as Parkview joined forces with Soweto Gospel Choir, whose members mingled with shoppers and posed and supermarket workers.

Suddenly the choir burst into an “impromptu” and heart-wrenching rendition of the song written during Mandela's imprisonment as a call to freedom; “Asimbonanga” (we have not seen him).

Watch the totally moving result in the video below with the lyrics underneath...

• Asimbonanga

Asimbonanga [we have not seen him]

Asimbonang' uMandela thina [we have not seen Mandela]

Laph'ekhona [in the place where he is]

Laph'ehleli khona [in the place where he is kept]

Asimbonanga

Asimbonang 'umfowethu thina [we have not seen our brother]

Laph'ekhona [in the place where he is]

Laph'wafela khona [in the place where he died]

Sithi: Hey, wena [We say: hey, you]

Hey, wena nawe [Hey, you and you]

Siyofika nini la' siyakhona [when will we arrive at our destination]
