Updated | By JacarandaFM News
The Mandela Auditorium at the Joburg Theatre is packed with friends, family and fans of Joe Mafela saying their last farewell to the South African entertainment great.

Mafela died after being involved in a car accident last Saturday. Authorities believe he might have died from a medical condition, rather than from any injuries sustained in the accident.
The actor's family took their seats up front as the programme got underway.
