[Magdalen] Obama lecture

[sally.davies at gmail.com]

While the world continues to reel in shock at the events of Helsinki, South
Africans are excited about a much anticipated event...the Nelson Mandela
Memorial Lecture, delivered by a certain Barack H. Obama!

Being Mandela's Centenary this year, it's a huge event, taking place at a
stadium in Johannesburg with an audience of 14 000 from around the world
plus TV audiences.

Whatever he's going to share with us, "it's going to be lit" as social
media likes to say. And is the first major address to be given by Obama
since he kicked off the shackles of campaigning and of high office.

Should be starting within the hour...can't wait!
