BILL CLINTON TO JOIN MIJAC’S RWANDA TRIP?: This time, King of Pop’s Rwandan nanny says it’s true.
*News continues to surface regarding Michael Jackson’s alleged interest in raising money and awareness for Rwanda and his rumored trip to the region scheduled for June 2007.
As previously reported, Africa News quoted a Rwandan official who said Jackson was looking to tour hospitals and the country’s television station to research ways in which he could best help the African nation.
On Monday, Fox 411 columnist Roger Friedman said Jackson’s nanny, Grace Sanyu Rwaramba, “is telling insiders that she, the singer and [former President Bill] Clinton are headed to Rwanda this winter,” and not in June as Africa News had reported.
Friedman writes: “As you may know, Grace has become the surrogate mother to Jackson’s three children and has been on the ‘lam’ with him since leaving the United States in June 2005. Jackson et al are living on the Irish estate of dance maven Michael Flatley.
“But Grace, a Rwandan native, is determined to return to her country with aide and money. It’s a noble thought, and one that Rwaramba has been angling for since going to work for Jackson in the early 90s.
“While she was in London with the pop singer last week for the World Music Awards, Rwaramba apparently confided in several people there that she and Jackson had secured the help of Clinton and his foundation. Clinton, of course, has been raising money in bucket loads this fall for African relief. He’s already helping Madonna’s Kabbalah effort in Malawi. Pitching in with Jackson is not so far-fetched.”
