“I had a lot of faith in you before I came here. Now I have even more.”
My cousin, Tess Nolizwe Peacock, from Johannesburg, a newly graduated attorney candidate from Johannesburg, was invited and attended the Town Hall meeting held by President Barack Obama in Soweto South Africa and provided these pictures to Oblogdee 2013 ©.
“There was an amazing energy in the room. We adapted old struggle songs and sang shosholoza, and danced while waiting for President Oabama to arrive. He is a brilliant orator and was a very memorable occasion. He did call President Zuma an ‘outstanding leader.'” Noted Tess, Please enjoy these awesome pictures….
This is the view from the Soweto Campus of the University of Johannesburg before the President was about to land.
