What was Obama's message to SA?

--:--
It has been quite a week "so far" in South Africa. It is Nelson Mandela Centenary with a magnificent event in Johannesburg on Tuesday where former US president Barack Obama gave a long and his most public speech since leaving the White House in the beginning of 2017. What was interesting was how South African received his speech and if you look beyond the smaller parties making a noise in the media, most South Africans are on board for a kinder, friendlier capitalism that will sort out poverty of being fair and businesses not being so repatiously being greedy.
