talk us ththrough someme of mr. obama's key points. phillip: it was an interesting speech, cecertainly a roususing speech at times. i think one thing that stood out for us as south africans is how obama was welcomed with a chant of yes we 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 twi

i'm doing this the speech of we didn't have to look very far for references to mr obama's success or as us president let's just take a look at a clip you have to believe in fact. i would argue that there is no basis for cooperation. if i say this is a podium and you say this is an elephant. it's going to be hard for us to cooperate . fully divest in johannesburg where there are many trump references they were very very very fences not all of them that's plenty of schools obama spoke about xenophobia and the rise of nationalism that certainly sounded like a race against to some of the trump alyse and he spoke of our state needs and of our politicians used to at least be ashamed when they were called lying and now on so much and he spoke about the rise of the strongman and the age of the strongman coming back all of those certainly i think too many people sounding like a reference is to trump but not if it directly attacking donald. let's hear some more from the former u.s. president on some disquieting similarities between south africa and the united states it is a plain fact that rac

so by mr obama himself what is his appeal what sort of appeal does he have amongst south africans are. here's an extremely popular figure an absolute popular figure in a way that not even nelson mandela is anyone else and mandela now is seen by some and sold out in push the films the sions far enough when he was how barack obama on the other side is just shining in comparison donald trump he is inspirational before his speech parts of that crowd was jaunty yes we can yes we can that same sort of youth oriented he won't keep politics in the united states is something that i think still resonates in south africa years a strong powerful black leader who charted a new coals for his country these are all things that south africans really enjoy seeing even if it is outside of our own unique it all it was good talking to thousands for joining us for the vets from a business insider south africa. well only son seen or heard of nelson mandela's birth we asked a young people across africa well beyond here pot i can means to them. wow. how do you know in my career i've been told. i was sorry. i

in remarks that will likely be seen as criticism of his successor donald trump, mr obama said the world is now ‘at a crossroads‘. we are at this moment in time at which two very different visions of humanity's future compete for the hearts and minds of citizens around the world. two different stories, two different narratives. about who we are and who we should be. how should we respond? let me tell you what i believe. i believe in nelson mandela's vision. i believe in a vision shared by gandhi and king. and abraham lincoln. i believe in the vision of equality and justice and freedom and multiracial democracy. built on the premise that all people are created equal and they are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. and i believe that a world governed by such principles, is possible. and joining us now from johannesburg is the bbc‘s nomsa maseko. i got the impression it was a large audience, i think 9000 people. i got the impression it was a large audience, ithink 9000 people. but he was speaking maybe notjust to that audience but also to people backin that audienc
