First it was the US secretary of state who went on a trip to Africa, now it is the vice-president and later in the year the president himself is expected to come.

Even the wild hyenas will shake their heads at her cackles.
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict the answer to the question is “no.” Unless, of course, Africans are inclined to enjoy cackling, and discourses on Venn diagrams and electric school buses
She may learn that the BBC is more than a TV network whilst there....
