Kumbe Nelson Mandela alisaidia kuokoa ndoa ya Rais Clinton

Former US President Bill Clinton had the rare pleasure of an audience with Nelson Mandela on Tuesday, the day before the iconic South African celebrated his 94st birthday. 

Mr Clinton famously credited Nelson Mandela with saving his marriage by counselling him through the Monica Lewinsky scandal 

Marafiki wa siku nyingi, Mzee Nelson Mandela na Rais Mstaafu wa Marekani, Bill Clinton jana walikutana kijijini kwa Rais huyo mstaafu wa Afrika Kusini, Qunu, na kuzungumza mambo kadhaa.

 

Kwa mujibu wa mjukuu wa Mzee Mandela, Kweku, Baba huyo wa Taifa la Afrika Kusini alifurahi sana kutembelewa na Rais Clinton na kubainisha kwamba, viongozi hao ni marafiki kwa muda mrefu.

 

Katika safari hiyo, Clinton amefuatana na mwanawe pekee, Chelsea.

The two men spent most of the afternoon together discussing world affairs and their lives in retirement. 

Mr Clinton was accompanied by his daughter Chelsea, while Mr Mandela's wife Graca and members of his family were also present for the meeting at Mr Mandela's rural home in Qunu in South Africa's Eastern Cape. 

Mr Mandela's grandson Kweku said the pair were "old friends". 

"Clinton has made a point of coming to see the old man which he is really happy about," he said. 

"He was very pleased to see him." 

The two men have met regularly both during their times in office and since stepping down, and Mr Clinton famously credited South Africa's first black president with saving his marriage by counselling him through the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Mr Clinton is in South Africa as part of an African tour that takes in Mozambique, Rwanda, and Uganda, to inspect the health and social projects his eponymous foundation has helped to fund.
