in very very misses of the early days of president barack obama's term in the united states and south african seem to be relating to him and that seems weak we see him as an inspirational figure in a lot of what he said it's home with some africans. and there were lots of not so veiled references to donald trump. indeed they were sometimes it was hard to tell whether obama was talking about south africa or a box that the united states we have many of the same problems the issues of nationalism which seem to be resurgent issues of xenophobia that he spoke quite seriously about issues of fake news and politicians simpy making things up and he spoke about social tools such as twitter once seen as a forceful good now apparently increasingly dividing us you know again these are issues as different as about two countries on these really are issues that have to cross but the united states and south africa today and as the country prepares to mark nelson mandela day out of us that sent nelson mandela. is he still relevant in modern south africa as young voters grow up and they still look to him as a

well we've heard from nelson mandela's wife aggression michelle and i listen if we can south africans have been speaking and the theme today seems to be that over leadership everyone who's spoken so far has said nelson mandela was a great leader they said when he became president his priority was focusing on his people he wanted each and every south african regardless of race to have a good life into a place within a unified country they also say that he stayed down after his first term something with some presidents past and present refused to do on the continent of africa at the detriment of the people and also the theme we're also talking about is that of human rights they saying that nelson mandela wanted not just africans africans people around the world their rights to be respected and he said that the people should learn also that good it does overcome evil and people around the world who are feeling oppressed disillusioned feel trapped in some way shouldn't feel like there's no way out and hoping nelson mandela's teachings will inspire more people around the world to help whil

many south africans say the ideal of a multicultural rainbow nation has failed. and the country was at a turning point. tide officially ended in south africa in one thousand nine hundred four but still today most of the country's black population lives in poverty though celebrating freedom here belongs to the young black middle class here the ideals that nelson mandela fought for are alive and well. looking at it. but those calling themselves the economic freedom fighters with their red shirts take a very different view they see the white minority as a problem and are calling for their land to be taken away. many of south africa's white farmers now live in fear fear of being attacked by black people. men from neighboring farms near pretoria have joined forces to patrol the area at night it's a practice now operating on farms across the country. but if. the farmers say the change in political tone has meant they're now in closing. suddenly there's a noise perhaps it's an intruder. this time it turns out to be nothing just the wind or a small animal. to find they've

a lot of black south africans has not. at all underlined that the public wanted out today and he say to that it's quite astonishing that this day and age he has to stand up an ace say and i think he meant this to both the united states and south africa that people of all equal and that they have same in a deal of rights when they are all and that this does not seem to be accepted yet in south africa certainly we have that undercurrents the off racism we still have whites dominance of many industries and many professions that we have a land question that which is being fiercely debated at the moment because land reform has not be nearly fussed enough since the advent of democracy and these phony problems that seem to have no immediate solution. so by mr obama himself what is his appeal have what sort of appeal does he have amongst south africans. he is an extremely popular figure an absolute populist figure in a way that not even nelson mandela is anyone else in mandela now is seen by some and sold out didn't push the films

i think one thing that stood out for us as south africans is how obama was welcomed with a chant of yese can. south africa of course has a new administration. there is euphoria of a fresh wind of change coming in, very reminiscent of the early days of barack obama's term in the u.s. south africans seem to be relalating to him in a sense.. they see him as an i inspiratiol figure. a lot of what he said hit home with south african sedate. -- today. phil: and there were lots of not so veiled references t to donald trump. phillip: indeed there were. sometimes it w was hard to t tel whether obama was talklking abot south africa or brought the united states. we have many of the same problems. we h have issues of nationalism which seemed to be resurgent, issueses of xenophobia which he spoke out seriouslyy about. issues of fake news and politicians simply making things up. he spoke about social tools such as twitter, once seen as a force for good, now apparently increasingly dividing us. again, these are issues, as different as our countries are, these issues cut across both the u.s. and south
