TOUCHING VIDEO: The Best Mandela Tribute Ever? (WATCH)

Many tributes have flowed in since Madiba's death last week but this certainly one of the best if not the best. 
Shoppers purchasing their groceries were left astounded after the Soweto Gospel Choir – many of whom posed as workers – emerged from the aisles at the Woolworths store in Johannesburg.
They performed Asimbonanga (We have not seen him), a call for freedom written during Mandela’s incarceration in prison, with many onlookers moved to tears.

Lyrics [According to yahoo South Africa]
Asimbonanga [we have not seen him]
Asimbonang’ uMandela thina [we have not seen Mandela]
Laph’ekhona [in the place where he is]
Laph’ehleli khona [in the place where he is kept]
Asimbonanga
Asimbonang ‘umfowethu thina [we have not seen our brother]
Laph’ekhona [in the place where he is]
Laph’wafela khona [in the place where he died]
Sithi: Hey, wena [We say: hey, you]
Hey, wena nawe [Hey, you and you]
Siyofika nini la’ siyakhona [when will we arrive at our destination]
