Peng Liyuan, the wife of President Xi Jinping and a UNESCO special envoy for the advancement of girls' and women's education, visited a preschool in a suburb of the South African capital Pretoria on Tuesday.

Peng was accompanied during the visit by Tshepo Motsepe, wife of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and a representative of the African Self Help Association Trust.

Scores of South African children waved the national flags of China and South Africa and shouted, "Welcome, welcome" in Chinese and English as Peng arrived at the Uthando Day Care Preschool in the capital's east suburbs.
