The world's largest fresh flower bouquet has been created in Johannesburg to raise funds for the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.
It was also made to wish the former president a speedy recovery from his prostate cancer.
Several of his children accepted the bouquet on his behalf.
The bouquet rose 6.5 metres high, spread 3.75 metres, weighed close to four tons and overtook the previous record of 28,801 flowers set by the Missouri Botanical Gardens in 1998.
702 Talk Radio and Telkom organised the Spring Day event, which saw the bouquet built over two days at Sandton City's Fountain Court, reports IOL.
Each flower bought by a member of the public represented a 10 rand donation to the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.
A number of florists and other firms donated flowers and materials towards the building of the bouquet.

This is an amazing act of love towards children. Let's do something similar like this to fund the education in Indonesia.
