“One of the key values Madiba
aspired to was that of service. May you continue to do him proud in your
service,” said Sello Hatang, chief executive of the Nelson Mandela
Foundation where the ceremony was held.
Mandela's wife Graca Machel, his
ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, and his two daughters Zenani and
Zindzi were among those who paid tribute to the medical staff.
Staff from hospitals including
Park Lane, Milpark, Johannesburg General, Olivedale, 1 Military and the
Pretoria Heart Hospital were praised for their care of Mandela, said
Hatang in a statement.
Former president Mandela died in
December last year at the age of 95. He had been suffering from a number
of recurring lung infections over the past few years. - Sapa
