Endorsing rogue government officials
Yes, government officials are elected to serve the people, often called to put their own personal desires aside for the greater good. Nonetheless, many people in influential positions in the continent use their posts to hoard money, wield power around and brag about their social status.
Some examples worth mentioning are the first president of Zimbabwe, Reverand Canaan Banana prohibiting his last name being used so he could stop people from making jokes mocking his surname. Then there is the President of Comoros, Azali Assoumani. Assoumani is among a hefty list of presidents who have extended their terms in a sad attempt to hold on tightly to power.
