President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered a message in honour of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, who died aged 90 on Sunday morning.
Tutu died “peacefully” at a Cape Town frail care centre, his family said.
In a message announcing Tutu's death Ramaphosa described the Nobel Peace Prize laureate as "a patriot without equal, a leader of principle and pragmatism who gave meaning to the biblical insight that faith without works is dead".
“A man of extraordinary intellect, integrity and invincibility against the forces of apartheid, he was also tender and vulnerable in his compassion for those who had suffered oppression, injustice and violence under apartheid, and oppressed and downtrodden people around the world," said Ramaphosa.
Sunday night's address took place at 9.40pm.
