Original Message Barack and Michelle Obama traveled to South Africa on Air Force One with former President George W. Bush, his wife Laura and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter are also attending the Tuesday memorial service but traveled to Africa separately

The American President and First Lady have arrived in Johannesburg alongside their predecessors as Air Force One arrived in South Africa on Tuesday morning.

Mr Obama has now been pictured arriving after a 17-hour flight from Washington on board Air Force One, during which he rode with his wife Michelle, former President George W Bush, Laura Bush, and former Secretary of State and first lady Hillary Clinton.

He has been given a prominent role in the memorial service for former South African president Nelson Mandela.
The memorial will feature tributes by some of the anti-Apartheid icon's family and a speech from United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

The event at the 95,000-capacity FNB Stadium in Soweto will begin at 11am Tuesday with a rendition of South Africa's national anthem - the only music in the order of service.

Interfaith prayers will then be held to reflect his world appeal before Mandela's friend, Andrew Mlangeni, who was imprisoned alongside the leader, speaks to the crowd.

Tributes will also be made by General Thanduxolo Mandela, and 'Madiba's' grandchildren Mbuso Mandela, Andile Mandela, Zozuko Dlamini and Phumla Mandela.
