African Sex Games of Politics

Here is the latest in the series of the sex games of politics afflicting Africa. Zimbabwean Archbishop Pius Ncube, foremost Mugabe critic, has been hit with an adultery lawsuit. Also, compromising pictures of the cleric have appeared in the press. Both obviously the work of Mugabe's security operatives. This follows on the heels of Ugandan opposition leader Kiiza Besigye being accused (and later acquitted) of grotesque rape charges in the middle of his electoral challenge to ruling strongman Yoweri Museveni, as well as out of favor South African Vice President Jacob Zuma suffering same fate. What's up with Africa's strongmen? What takes the cake is fact that Mugabe only married his current wife, a divorcee, after special papal dispensation. Shame on the Vatican!!
