Despite various advancements in the fields of technology, arts and culture, the term ” dark continent” or ”jungle” still lurks in the perception of many foreigners acculturated to believe nothing good comes from Africa. Rather, Africa is regarded mostly for diseases, hunger and political violence.
Well, to have such a mindset means you are missing out big-time on the breathtaking success of mother Africa! Consider this list of advanced and awe-inspiring cities in Africa that are already attracting the world’s attention.

That fifth photo is not Accra at night - that is Cape Town!
Lmfaoooo did you just say the famous Kwame Nkrumah circle is Cape Town? ?????Maybe there might be a resemblance to Cape Town but Google Nkrumah circle and you'll know what it looks like.
grotesque cathedrals in windhoek? As far as I know there is a rather 'normal' church built on a hill by the german colonialist. This church though is built in a neo-gothic style... but grotesque? And churche(s)?
I too thought it was a very poor choice of words and reading the article, seems out of keeping with the sentiment entirely. I believe it was an attempt to make mention of the gothic style, perhaps?
I have yet to read a phrase as entirely inapt as "grotesque cathedrals".
If you're referring to the Christuskirche, I'd hardly describe it as a cathedral, much less a grotesque one.
And yeah, there's literally only that one church that even approaches being described as a cathedral, so why the plural?
I take it you haven't been to Windhoek. I wouldn't say this little passage has captured the essence of my hometown at all. Sorry.
