Masisi, is he our donkey milk soap

Angola has been ruled by one man since 1979. Just so you have it in perspective, the man has ruled that country longer than Robert Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe. Until recently, it seemed that only death could, and would, knock him of his perch. Early this year, the man’s health took a nose dive.

In keeping with African presidential tradition, he went for repairs in Europe even as his people groaned died under a failing health system representative of the best of his efforts. In the 38 years of rule, or more accurately misrule, not much has changed in that country regard being had to its massive mineral and oil wealth. Still, millions of landmines lie under Angolan soil, a legacy of a bitter civil war from which he emerged a victor and life president. It is estimated that there is one landline for every Angolan citizen buried beneath the beautiful and wealthy African nation’s soils. Thanks to ill health, Dos Santos, will finally relinquish power, so we are told.

His tenure has not been all about failure. He produced Africa’s first billionaire woman, his own daughter. She is worth over three billion dollars, according to Forbes. She characteristically taken stakes in companies doing business in that country. The source of the massive equity required of the former night club owner to take stakes in such massive enterprises remains mystical at best.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
