US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called for a broad alliance with South Africa.
Mrs. Clinton shook her hips to the sounds of a street brass choir in the slums of Cape Town, where she was swarmed by women and children at a housing project she had visited more than a decade ago as first lady.
Mrs. Clinton is emphasizing public diplomacy during her 11-day, seven-nation tour of Africa, hoping to showcase the commitment of President Barack Obama's administration to the continent.
But the top US diplomat is also seeking to build political alliances and met with Mr. Jacob Zuma, South Africa's new President, in the eastern coastal town of Durban on Saturday to solidify ties with Africa's largest economy.
