To be honest with you, not that I'm never honest, I have to admitt that I was over my head when I heard that the first ever USA BLACK FIRST LADY wil be touching our soil. Michel Obama is now the world's mother, after all America is the most powerful and influential state. Apparently she's here to visit Mandela, whome Americans think he's a god, and also to promote women and youth leadership.
I'm happy for this initiative, it's a good one and it might help. But what is it that South Africas need?. The youth. What are their needs? I promise you, Obama's wife's visit is not what we need. The president visiting the Queen of Britain is absolutely not what we need.
We need people who will come to this country not with their capitalist agenda but the agenda of creating jobs. The American government is trying so hard to use us as a gate away to Africa and to fulfil their long time dream of exploiting our rich resources and minerals taking the advantage that we don't have financial abilities. We need people who will come to this soil and put the idea of education in action but till then we will have to do it on our own and they should just give us space. We should learn to change our own land to avoid manipulators.
Mrs Obama hope you'll enjoy SA but your visit should be lucrative for us to invite you again.
