Patricia de Lille is about to fire off a proposal to award the Freedom of the City of Cape Town to Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle. According to Cape Town’s mayor, the couple exuded leadership, excellence and inclusion, which made them “natural candidates for the city’s highest accolade.”
For this city, as for the entire world, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are the guiding stars to our eventual destination. In a cynical age, there is a desperate need for universal hope. Symbols that retain their meaning in these times, and ones that embody the qualities to which we aspire, are worthy of the highest recognition.
The US embassy spokesperson in Cape Town, Brian Denver said it was “a great honour for the couple.” He also promised he would be “liaising with the White House.”
