In this list we authoritatively present to you the list of a delegation of the most powerful and well known figures in American politics that is travelling to South Africa to pay respects to Nelson Mandela.

Those Traveling on Air Force One include

President Barack Obama
First Lady Michelle Obama
Former President George W. Bush
Former First Lady Laura George W.Bush
Former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton
Attorney General Eric Holder
National Security Adviser Susan Rice
Economics Adviser Valerie Jarrett
Hilary Clinton's Daughter Chelsea Clinton

Others Traveling separately include
 
Bill Clinton and, 
Former President Jimmy Carter
Republican Senator From Texas Ted Cruz (The Imbecile that Insulted Nigeria)
32-year-old GOP representative, Aaron Schock
The chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus Marcia Fudge


The official memorial, which will take place in the 95,000-seat FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday, will host leaders and former heads of state from across the world, plus hundreds of other VIPs and celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey and Richard Branson. The South African authorities have not released an official guest list, but countries from across the world are understood to be sending senior representatives. More than a dozen African heads of state will attend.
Ben Rhodes, a national security adviser to the White House, confirmed that Obama would "deliver remarks" during the memorial event. The president had not planned to deliver a speech and has been working on the text over the weekend and during the flight, Rhodes said. 
Some are describing the event as an unprecedented convergence of the world’s most powerful leaders, past and present, including the current and former UN secretary generals, Ban Ki Moon and Kofi Annan. It is certainly rare, outside of UN general assembly meetings, for leaders such as Obama, British prime minister David Cameron and French president François Hollande to mix with leaders from China, Iran, Cuba, Israel and the Palestinian territories.
All of Britain’s surviving prime ministers – Sir John Major, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown – will accompany Cameron, along with his deputy, Nick Clegg, and the leader of the opposition Labour party, Ed Miliband. Prince Charles will represent the Queen at the state funeral on Sunday, but is not participating in the memorial event.

Prime Minister Bettel, Luxembourg gay Prime Minister

These are certainly the end times! The first gay prime minister has been sworn in to office in Luxembourg. His name is Xavier Bettel. Prime Minister Bettel is an openly gay politician, who previously served as Mayor of Luxembourg City. He is Luxembourg’s first gay Prime Minister and in another first, he has appointed openly gay politician Etienne Schneider, as his deputy. 

Prime Minister Bettel doesn’t believe that his sexuality influences voters, “I never made my sexuality a topic in politics for people to vote against or for,” he shared in a 2011 interview.

Prime Minister Bettel has two priorities now that he’s been sworn into office: gay marriage and to replace Bible teachings with non-religious ethics.
He promised to address gay marriage shortly, “At the moment in Luxembourg, we have to go through the situation of weddings, religion and divorce laws. But I don’t think it’ll be in the next five years – it’ll be next year.

Lagos based Pastor of the Household of God Church, Kris Okotie, has said that he stood by his recent sermon where he said the Catholics and T.B. Joshua of the Synagogue Church will burn in hell fire Since his outburst, condemnations and commendations have continued to pour on him from Nigerians who felt concerned about the statement. 

In his latest tweet, the fashionable pastor simply said 'the truth is bitter'.
However, majority of Nigerians are asking Pastor Okotie who has married and divorced twice, if God does not hate divorce, according to the Scriptures. Pastor Okotie had predicted 'hell' for
Catholics 'because they worship Satan and are led by an Anti-Christ Pope who is a friend to the devil'. 

Okotie added that the Catholic Church was "a counterfeit church set up by Satan" and that Catholics "bow to idols and crucify Jesus every Sunday when they eat bread claiming they are eating
Jesus' body." "They are not Christians and have never been," Okotie told a bewildered congregation.

"They don't know Jesus. They believe that when they eat bread on Sundays, they are eating the body of Jesus. It's ritual," Okotie said. He also alleged that Pope Francis is an Anti-Christ who does the job of the devil and that time is fast approaching when the Catholic church will pledge allegiance to Satan.

"The pope is an Anti-Christ and the Catholic church will soon declare for Satan. This is the end of times," Okotie erupted. Similalrly, Okotie also condemned famous preacher and philanthropist, Prophet T.B. Joshua, saying "T.B. Joshua is the son of the devil and his followers will go straight to hell".
