President Barack Obama’s upcoming
$100-million African trip will take a virtual entourage to
Johannesburg, the same place where thirsty children lined up at the
region’s only water spigot as United Nations delegates gorged themselves
on steak and lobster, washed down by fine wines at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development. (Here)
Obama will hold a town hall meeting with young Africans at the Soweto campus of the University of Johannesburg. The contrast between the students, who struggle with tuition, and the Obamas, who will have their own floating medical centre via a standby Navy aircraft carrier and other multi-million dollar conveniences, couldn’t be more stark.
The Obama entourage is embarking on its African mega-million dollar trip as ailing anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela lies in a hospital bed fighting a lung infection.
“The US President Barack Obama will defer to Nelson Mandela’s family on whether he will visit the ailing anti-apartheid icon during his trip to South Africa next week,” a top aide said. (Citypress June 22, 2013)
