It was a poignant moment as President Barack Obama and wife Michelle visited a bleak former prison island off the coast of South Africa on Sunday to pay tribute to ailing anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela.

Their visit set the stage for a speech at the University of Cape Town later to urge Africans to strive for prosperity and democracy in which the President will cite the legacy of Mandela, who was imprisoned on Robben Island for 18 of the 27 years he spent in jail before becoming the first black president of South Africa.

Current South African President Jacob Zuma was also held on the wind-swept island off Cape Town under the apartheid regime that ended in 1994 with Mandela's election victory.
