The late Dr Zola Skweyiya will be laid to his final resting place on Saturday at the Pretoria East Cemetery.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has accorded Dr Skweyiya a Special Official Funeral Category 1 which includes military honours.
Since the President issued the declaration, South African flags across the country and abroad have been flying in a half-mast position as a sign that the country is in a mourning state.
