Michelle Obama to tour Africa with daughters, mother

Michelle Obama will be visiting Africa with her daughters and mother later this month to continue her work of encouraging young people around the world to become active in their countries.
The First Lady plans to visit Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa, and Gaborone in Botswana during her six-day trip from June 21-26, reports the Daily Mail.
Apart from youth leadership, she will also focus on other aspects such as education, health and wellness.
The visit, officials believe, will highlight the important stake the U.S. has in the success of Africa's many nations, as well as the historic ties between Americans and people who live in Africa.
On her second trip without the president, daughters Malia and Sasha and her mother Marian Robinson will accompany the First Lady. (ANI)
