President Jacob Zuma announced Madiba’s passing in a televised address on Thursday night.
Mandela spent almost three months in hospital this year after being admitted to the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital in June with a recurring lung infection.
He was discharged in September and was receiving home-based medical care.
Zuma has ordered that all flags of the country fly at half-mast and remain that way until after the burial ceremony.
