On Sunday, Mr Obama publicly praised him for saving millions of lives with the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

'The United States has really done wonderful work through the PEPFAR program, started under my predecessor, President Bush, and continued through our administration,' he said in Cape Town.
By contrast, Mr Obama has only visited Africa once before during his presidency, and has not prioritised the continent despite the fact that his father was from Kenya.

Last week he blamed the fiscal squeeze and domestic politics for his apparent sidelining of Africa, claiming that Mr Bush had a lot more freedom of movement.

'Given the budget constraints, for us to try to get the kind of money that President Bush was able to get out of the Republican House for massively scaled new foreign aid programs is very difficult,' Mr Obama said.
'We could do even more with more resources. But if we're working smarter, the amount of good that we can bring about over the next decade is tremendous.'
Foreign policy adviser Ben Rhodes said that having both leaders in one African country at the same time 'sends a very positive message that both political parties in the United States share a commitment to this continent'.
