Remember the way it used to be? In the developed world, how a disgraced politician would stand at a podium, admitting guilt, acknowledging homosexuality or of having an affair with prostitutes while his shamefaced wife stands loyally by his side. In Africa, the affected wife would bemoan the embarrassment, shed some tears and probably ask for a divorce or live with it as his array of girlfriends and mistresses may as well be a status symbol.
