Olayinka,
First of all, prove the allegation that one man, Jacob the patriarch, captured the state of Democratic South Africa. Where is the proof?

All these 'isms' are abstractions. They require several generations for perfection and they are capable of being unpacked by unpacking the logic behind their constitution.
One man power capture as even in Putin of Russia let alone African despots, is simply atavistic, crude and barbaric.
Of course global imperialism and racism as tangentially referenced by the essay has had a role to play in propping up despots in order to access African resources and sexism has had a role to play in the brutal zero- sum game of survival of the filthiest which has been the ultimate goal of African politics across the continent.
That was why the First Lady of Ekiti State reiterated the staple of political arithmetic, that in African politics 2+2 is not necessarily 4!
So one man power capture and the instigated upheavals for its sustenance is the low of the lows of bestiality in communal organisation that truncate the manifestation of communal will.

Tell them sista Glo. Who cares about state capture by one man when the continent and indeed the entire globe plus outer space has been captured by imperialism-racism-sexism with impunity?

Who says Africa is falling apart?
There are reconfigurations and in the case of South Africa a declaration of
resistance to poverty and state capture by ex- apartheid oligarchs
and their supporters. In the case of Ethiopia, well the challenge to ethnoregionalism is in order and could be for the better.
