I haven’t seen it, but I’ll check it out. That theme is disappointingly common. Taken in context, the South African government’s success is nothing short of astonishing. So as much as there are some terrible policies and small scale corruption, I have to give them credit for doing what seems to be better than nearly any other post-colonial African nation.

Have you seen The Last King of Scotland? It’s all about Idi Amin and his regime. A common theme in African movies is the new guy promises reform, and then turns out to be at least as corrupt as his predecessor.
