This is the best description of classic African President: His face on the money.His portrait hangs in every office. He names every streets(KK,mandela,mwanawasa),football stadiums(mwanawasa,mandela),hospitals(mwanawasa),universities(nkrumah,kenyatta),airports(KK,nkumbula,kapwepwe) after himself,friends and relatives. He insists on being called `doctor(KK,chiluba,mwanawasa) or conqueror(mugabe, gadaffi,kagame,museveni) or number one peasant(sata) or the wise old man (eduardo santos). His pronouncement is reported on the front page. He shuffles ministers without warning,paralysing policy decisions as he undercuts prenters to throne. He bans political parties except the one in controls. He rigs elections. He emasculates the courts(sata). He cows the press(RB.Banda). He stifles academia. He goes to church. Is it true that the African Big Mans are all tyrants suffering from the same apocalyptic monomania?
