According to Obama's Spokesperson, Oprah will not be part of the delegation which will later head to South Africa.

"But it's not accurate that Oprah will go (Just want to be clear on that, since it's been a widely circulated rumor.)," an email from Obama's spokesperson read in part as .quoted by CNN.

The Spokesperson also stated that she wasn't sure about the attendees on the trip.

Obama will visit Kenya from July 15-16, where he'll attend the inauguration of a youth sports center founded by his sister, Auma Obama in Siaya County.

Obama then is expected to meet with President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga during the one-day trip.
