The US Embassy helped me out with the trip. There are a few great US programs to check out, including the Youth Leadership Program and the Young African Leaders Initiative. The embassy has a long list of educational exchange programs for South Africans to visit the US, including these two.

Another great program (not a US government one) is the new MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program, which will be providing bursaries for thousands of Africans to attend university in the US, Canada, and Africa. Brand new, funded well, so check it out!
