    Nelson Mandela somou a sua aura ao adeus público a Michael Jackson.

   O lider histórico anti-apartheid assinou uma mensagem lida por Smokey Robinson, numa cerimónia transmitida em directo para todo o Mundo por centenas de cadeias de televisão e rádio.

   Jackson avistara-se por várias vezes com Mandela, assumindo a sua admiração e carinho por um homem que se tornou uma referência moral universal.

   "Michael was a giant and a legend in the music industry. And we mourn with the millions of fans worldwide," the message from Mandela and read out by Smokey Robinson said.

    "We had great admiration for his talent and that he was able to triumph over tragedy on so many occasions in his life.

   "My wife and I, our family, our friends, send you our condolences during this time of mourning. Be strong, Nelson Mandela."
