Recent events in Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa suggest that all African countries are the same…. semi-states in different stages of revolving-door development with a veneer thin disguise of normalcy. Democracy is a mere soundbite used to disguise the hideous undercurrent of intolerance and corruption that infests the rank and file of post-colonial African governments. While some southern African countries have made an effort at upholding human rights and mulptipartyism, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mozambique and a host of other countries seem to be drolling at the Chinese model of a one party dictatorship shrouded in a threadbare cloak of multi-party democracy.
