MTV Base is bringing the White House down to Mzansi. Well, technically.

Four young South Africans had the chance to speak to US First Lady, Michelle Obama about education, role models and leadership. The discussion was taped for MTV Base show MTV Base Meets… during which young Africans are given the opportunity to pick the brains of those who inspire them.

Nelson Mandela, Liberian president Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Sir Richard Branson and musical star Bra Hugh Masekela have featured previously.

Obama stopped at the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre in Newtown during US President Barack Obama’s visit last month.

The episode will premiere on MTV Base (DStv channel 322) at 5pm on Friday.

Repeats will be shown throughout the month. – Mercury Correspondent
