Pelley good evening, the South African government announced plans today for a week of Memorial Services for Nelson Mandela, culminating with his funeral a week from sunday. President obama will lead a u. S. Delegation, expected to include a number of former president s, though it is not known which of the services he will attend. Mourners continued to gather today at mandelas home in johannesburg where he died last night and at his former home in soweto. Perhaps no one image summed up his legacy better than this. Blacks and whites signed by side honoring the father of a multiracial south africa, a man who became a worldwide symbol for racial equality. Debra patta is there. Dance today. From the sprawling township of soweto to the plush upmarket suburb of hall on the, it was precisely the kind of sendoff Nelson Mandela would have loved. Since his death was announced, South Africans from all over the country have been making a pilgrimage to mandelas home in johannesburg. They came bearing flowers, gifts, and messages of support. And if they had nothing to give, they shared their talents instead. For some, it was overwhelming. If we can do a little bit of what he did everyday, well live a very different world. The first time i voted was 94 so its a great day. Reporter but mostly there were tears of joy. An impromptu celebration with people of every color honoring the legacy of a leader like no other. Look at it here. If there ever was a center of the universe it would be right here right now at the death of Nelson Mandela. I am not mourning. I am celebrating what his life sacrifices and ive come to thank god for his life to say thank you. Because he has united us. Reporter if his lifes mission was to unite a racially divided country, it was his death that revealed how successful hed been. Pelley debora patta joins us now front of mandelas home in johannesburg. Deborah, what are the plans Going Forward . Reporter an unprecedented period of mourning, scott, ten days in all. Part of which includes Nelson Mandelas body lying in state for official public viewing. There will be a massive Memorial Service at a soccer stadium in soweto, and culminating in a private family funeral and burial and thats on the 15th of december. Pelley Deborah Patta in south africa. Debora, thank you very much. Well, Nelson Mandela belonged to the world and today the world remembered. The flag atop the white house flew at halfstaff. The New York Stock Exchange fell silent before the opening bell. And in india School Children lit candles and said prayers. Mark phillips has more on why mandela is so revered throughout the world. Thank you reporter as much as the years could diminish Nelson Mandelas body and perhaps in the latter stages of his life his mind, they couldnt diminish the man. For us to continue talking peace and nonviolence. Reporter there arent many politicians especially ones engaged in battles as bitter and complex as the ones he fought who left such a clean battlefield. Africa reporter Mohammed Valli Moosa was one of mandelas trusted lieutenants. Whats so remarkable is that Nelson Mandela is now everybodys hero. Everybody loves him, blacks and whites. Everybody loves him. Reporter Nelson Mandelas story was south africas story. I greet you all in the name of peace. Reporter but his special talent was to do the apparently impossible to offer the hope of democracy to oppressed black majority while at the same time managing the fear of change in the untilthen allpowerful white minority. It was a balancing act that columnists like pinky khoabane say only mandela could manage. People see him completely above the politics of the day. Reporter of his day and the current day. Of his day and the current day. I mean, they see no fault. Reporter the promise of the new south africa has not always been fulfilled. Democracy has not brought prosperity far from it. Nelson mandela is revered for more than simply being the father of the new south africa, he represents a simpler time when the distinctions between the rights and the wrongs were more clearly defined. After two decades of democracy here, things are a lot murkier now. South africas current leadership under president jacob zuma is wallowing in a storm of allegations of corruption and mismanagement. Weve been very saddened by the deaths of all these stalwarts. Reporter of his generation . Yes, of his generation. And every time they go we have this deep sense of sadness and loss because they are in a different mold. We dont see this crass materialism that we see today. Reporter south africa will be burying more than a man, it will be burying some of its dreams. Mark phillips, cbs news, johannesburg. Pelley perhaps the most dramatic moment in the life of Nelson Mandela was his emergence from prison in 1990 after more than a quarter of a century out of public view. Bob simon was there that day and this is how he reported it. Reporter after 27 years, his head was high and his fist was clenched. Nelson mandela walked out of the prison today like a chief of state, flanked by his first lady and by the men whod been hired to protect him. There they were, the South African state police, providing security for the man whod once been the most wanted man in africa. Reporter i was a young correspondent at cbs and i remember admiring that piece enormously. Bob simon is joining us tonight. Bob, what do you remember about that first moment when you saw a free Nelson Mandela . The remarkable thing was, nobody had seen or heard a word from him in 27 years so we didnt know if we were seeing a dotterring old man broken by the Apartheid Regime. We didnt know even though hed negotiated with the regime whether hed go free and say to his a. N. C. Buddies okay, lets get them and create rivers of blood. Or whether he was there to lead the nation. And we didnt know for 24 hours. That night he gave a long, rambling boring speech and we were worried the next morning he gave a News Conference and he called on reporters from the proapartheid papers, he treated them like friends and he was eloquent and funny and gracious and i thought maybe he can do it. Pelley was there any single experience that you had in all the experiences you had in south africa that gave you a real measure of the man . Yes, and it had nothing to do with him. I went to the island, Robben Island, several times and once i just went and stood on this barren rock and you could see cape town. You could see cape town from there. And i recommend to anyone who wants to get a measure of the man to just stand on that rock for a couple of hours and then try to imagine what it would be like being there for 27 years. And then try to imagine what it would be like getting out of there after 27 years and not wanting to murder the people who sent you there. Thats the measure of Nelson Mandela. Pelley bob simon, 60 minutes correspondent. Youll have a piece on mandela on 60 minutes this sunday. Bob, thanks for joining us tonight. And theres another important story tonight. We got the best jobs report in five years. The Unemployment Rate fell three tenths of a point last month to 7 . The economy created 203,000 jobs. That news helped wall street snap a fivesession losing streak. The dow finished the day with a gain of nearly 200 points. Heres anthony mason. Reporter in a warehouse in louisville, kentucky, this week, bob marino addressed his employees, many of them new seasonal hires. Look at the jobs weve created, look at the faces we have here. Reporter marino is c. E. O. Of cafe press, a company that makes custom goods like mugs, tshirts and clocks. With business growing, hes needed to increasdhis Seasonal Work force by as much as 20 . This year were gonna be hiring 700 to 800 folks and that augment it is crew of about 450 that we have here year round. Reporter for three of the last four months now, employers across the country have hired at least 200,000 workers. At the meeting, marie know asked his holiday work force if they wanted job. I mean, not just a seasonal job, a fulltime job. Yeah, i thought so, its like that every year. Reporter 29yearold Matthew Daugherty was one of those who put up his hand. Laid off from his welding job, hes printing tshirts over the holidays. As a welder i get laid off quite often. Here they stay pretty busy im looking to get hired on. Reporter if hiring continues at its current pace nationally, employment could finally climb back to its prerecession levels by next summer. But marino says the effects of the recession still linger. I think everybodys waiting to get it in the Rearview Mirror and march forward and turn the American Economy back to what it should be. Reporter you mentioned that wall street rally, scott. Investors are hoping the economy is now Strong Enough to withstand a scaling back of the Federal Reserve stimulus which is expected within the next few months. Pelley its been such a long time.

And parking lots became ice rinks. 30 cars became stranded on this overpass in austin. Even First Responders needed to be rescued. Many more were stuck at the airport with 1,000 Flights Canceled in and out of dallas. Utility crews in texas and arkansas tried to knock heavy ice off power lines before they snapped from the weight. The ice is also weighing down trees. This oak fell on christina goodmans home in the middle of the night. We literally sleep right there so if had been a few feet over we maybe would all be at the emergency room right now. Reporter this storm is blamed for at least one death in oklahoma and parts of arkansas could see temperatures drop to zero. Thats balmy compared to the snowswept northern plains.

And therein lies a story told tonight by michelle miller. Reporter in 1984, most americans had never heard of Nelson Mandela. The South African government has not responded to our demands favorably. Reporter political activist Randall Robinson was on a mission to change that. The strategy was to find ways to dramatize the relationship between the west and the South African apartheid system. We were the legs on which it was standing. Reporter robinson staged a sitin with congressman Walter Fauntroy and civil rights leader Mary Frances Berry at the south African Embassy in washington, d. C they told the ambassador that they would not leave until their demands were met. First was the Immediate Release of Nelson Mandela from prison. The second demand was that all of the black Political Prisoners be released. And thirdly that they begin immediately the dismantlement of the apartheid system. Reporter all three were jailed. That one act of civil disobedience led to a year of daily protests at the embassy where celebrities, members of congress, and citizens were also arrested. We put 5,000 people in jail at the embassy and that drove the headlines. Free south africa reporter the movement pressured politicians to act. On this vote reporter and in 1986 congress overroad president reagans veto and imposed trade sanctions against south africa. U. S. Businesses were forced to divest, costing the regime over 350 million that year alone. Four years later, mandela was free. Nelson mandela taking his first steps into a new south africa. Reporter rib inson says mandelas public persona was the same as his private one. He saw that firsthand when a Hotel Housekeeper accidentally walked into a meeting. The moment that she walked into the room he stood up. Because a gentleman stands when a lady comes into the room. His sense of courtesy, it was genuine, it was a private moment never to be seen or remarked publicly. It told me something about the man. Reporter a man whose respect for each individual taught us so much about dignity and justice for all. Michelle miller, cbs news, boston. Pelley back with more news in a moment.

Mandela and daniels were among 30 Political Prisoners isolated in what was simply called b block. We sat on the brick. Reporter mandela and his fellow inmates worked long days in the yard sitting on bricks ordered only to look straight ahead they smashed slate into gravel with hammers. Black inmates wore short pants in all weather. The Apartheid Regimes way of reminding them that all black men were considered boys no matter what their age.
