There is nothing democratic about governments that win by vote buying

Has it ever occurred to one that our democracies in Africa are more influenced by food hampers, give outs and parcels than principle and a clear knowledge of the political environment that surrounds us? Are African democracies creations of highest bids and fat pockets or they are based on principled politicians whose desire is to serve the people that que at the polling stations?

Politics has become a money game and the tact in Africa is to do anything possible to hang onto power even where it is clear to those that are given mandate that the ship cannot sail anymore. That then begs the question as to why Africans want to hold onto power when they lack an idea of taking Africa and their separate and sovereign countries forward. One can only assume that the desire to cling to power is a self-preservation tactic rather than a desire to see prosperity for the citizenry.
