STORYLINE
US President, Barack Obama landed at Waterkloof Air Force Base in Pretoria on Friday, where he will begin the South African leg of his first major tour of Africa.
Arriving with his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha, he was greeted by South African Minister for International Relations and Cooperation, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane.
Obama's visit to South Africa is seen as something of a tribute to the man who helped inspire his own political activism, Nelson Mandela.
The President will pay homage to Mandela at Robben Island, the prison where he spent 18 of his 27 years in prison.
And with South Africa's ruling party, the African National Congress, facing questions about its effectiveness, Obama will urge the government and the South African people to live up to the democratic example set by their first black President.
Inspired by Nelson Mandela's struggles in South Africa, a young Barack Obama joined campus protests in the US against the racist rule that kept Mandela locked away in prison for nearly three decades.
Now an historic, barrier-breaking figure himself, President Obama arrived in South Africa on Friday to find a country drastically transformed by Mandela's influence - and grappling with the beloved 94-year-old's mortality.
It was unclear whether Mandela's deteriorating health would allow Obama to make a hospital visit.
The former South African leader is battling a recurring lung infection and is reported to be in critical condition at a hospital in the South African capital of Pretoria.
Obama and Mandela have met just once, a hastily arranged meeting in a Washington hotel room in 2005 when Obama was a US senator.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
