Michelle Obama Meets Mandela

The Daily Telegraph reports:

Michelle Obama has met Nelson Mandela at his home, in a rare visit with the ageing former president.

The meeting with the 92-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner was discreetly arranged after Mrs Obama and her daughters visited archives chronicling some of his 27 years as a political prisoner.

At the Mandela Foundation, his wife Graca Machel guided Mrs Obama, her mother, and her daughters Malia and Sasha through an exhibit of his personal photographs and journals, in which he meticulously drafted letters but also kept more mundane notes on his weight and daily routine.
