CNN International's (DStv 401) ongoing coverage since last week Thursday when news broke of Nelson Mandela's death, has been and continued to be exemplary - the best of all the 24-hour news channels available in South Africa.
"The CNN International home page is honouring Nelson Mandela on the day of his funeral," said Peter Bale, the vice president and general manager for digital at CNN International.
"We felt that using what would normally be advertising space in this way was an appropriate and tasteful way to mark the passing of a world figure of unrivaled stature. CNN has for decades committed to covering the continent of Africa, its struggles and its achievements. It seemed right to present the news of his death and his legacy in a way that was out of the ordinary."
