Thousands of South Africans are expected to take part in a day of “prayer and reflection” for late President Nelson Mandela.
President Jacob Zuma will attend a service in a Methodist church in Johannesburg, with other multi-faith services planned throughout the day.
A national memorial service will be held on Tuesday, ahead of a state funeral on 15 December.
South Africans have been holding vigils since Mr Mandela died on Thursday.
President Jacob Zuma urged South Africans to go to stadiums, halls, churches, temples or synagogues on Sunday to remember their former leader.
“We should, while mourning, also sing at the top of our voices, dance and do whatever we want to do, to celebrate the life of this outstanding revolutionary who kept the spirit of freedom alive and led us to a new society.
Let us sing for Madiba,” he said, using Mr Mandela’s clan name.

Critical Observer take your nonsense elsewhere. You are seeing faces in the clouds
I hope you Zambians are learning something from your fellow African neighbours on how to mourn soberly. The South Africans haven’t brought their country to a halt like you did when levy died. Rugby,cricket,football matches are being played with only a minute’s silence as a mark of respect. Commercial Radio stations are not dictated to as to what kind of music they should play. In short business is going on as the nation mourns
