        @BBCBreaking do you need an invitation to a funeral? Would you not just go? Pay your respects as you wish?

        @BBCBreaking #MadibaFuneral In African culture you don't need or get an invite to a funeral, especially that of a friend. Petulance?

        @BBCBreaking In African culture invitations are not sent. Arch is being immature and seeking attention, which is just like him anyway.

        @BBCBreaking since when funerals require invitation? It's paying your respects to the deceased. unless you were en enemy, inv is unnecessary
