A message using Nelson Mandela's clan name “Madiba” and a term of affection “Tata” meaning “father” is scrawled on the window of a car parked in the street outside Mandela's old house in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa, on December 6, 2013. Flags were lowered to half-staff and people in black townships, in upscale mostly white suburbs and in South Africa's vast rural grasslands commemorated Nelson Mandela with song, tears and prayers on Friday while pledging to adhere to the values of unity and democracy that he embodied.
