Seats were still being filled up more than an hour into the funeral service of Nelson Mandela today as soldiers moved in to occupy empty chairs.....
Empty seats however could still be seen in parts of the marquee more than an hour into the event ...
Elsewhere, stadiums where the funeral was being screened were left unfilled this morning.
According to IOL News, the Lucas Moripe stadium, in Atteridgeville, west of Pretoria, was virtually empty.
The stadium was one of a number of venues across South Africa showing live footage of the funeral.
Ellis Park Stadium, in Johannesburg, also reportedly remained empty shortly before 8am while Orlando Stadium had few people in at 7.45am.

The REAL truth about Nelson Mandela is not very pretty.
I guess Mandela isn’t rising from the dead. The way the liberals talk about him, I thought for sure that would happen.
May we all REST IN PEACE from now on that mandela has been buried.
What a jamboreee for a racist communist.
I had 10 days of my wife moaning because her TV programs were canceled because of mandela.
There will be no rest. Try to prepare your wife for what is coming:
Mandela the Memorial
Mandela the Musical
Mandela the Movie
Mandela the Opera
Mandela the Movie II
Mandela .....
and then Winnie will get sick.
Yep
They were using stadiums across the country?
Strange since the service was really only being held in one. What was happening in the other stadiums? Chicken fights?
No one will ever know I guess, since nobody showed up.
I was snarking about how many US schools will be renamed for Mandela and somebody posted a list of how many ALREADY existed.
You could always make it up to her by buying her
a Mandela 50,000 mile radial necklace, comes in
black or white sidewall. Buy three get a fourth FREE.
Wow, and to think I didn't notice.

If you post on the Mail Online, just don’t say something inflammatory, such as the British are ‘Pretentious’. I did, it upset their delicate sensibilities, and I was Banned.
I thought I saw a trailer for a Mendela movie coming out soon.
And similar to Obama nobody really likes the man, they like the myth. When he died nobody cared. Will anyone weep for Obama? Does he even have any real friends?
Even with some empty seats, he had more attendees than most of us will have. I am kind of impressed by how many people have gone to the various funerals. That is the other thing, he had numerous funeral events. I can’t imagine anybody wanting to go to more than one or two. The guy is still a communist but had a ton of people at his many funerals.
I'd love to see Michelle "run like hell" after seeing that.
