Too much equatorial action in office

Move over Casanova. Baltasar Ebang Engonga is the new king of what the late Italian president Silvio Berlusconi described with onomatopoeic accuracy, bunga-bunga. Engonga is a civil servant in Malabo, capital of Equatorial Guinea in western-central Africa, who has reportedly had, over time - what Bill Clinton insisted he did not have with any White House intern - sex [dramatic pause not necessarily leading to a pregnant one] with many, many women. And how did this become public knowledge? Because 'hundreds' of sex tapes involving Engonga the Unputdownable found their way on social media. It is still unclear whether 'hundreds' of videos amount to 'hundreds' of willing partners.

On the face of it, civil servants of a certain scale are known for their usual 'chai-pani'. But in the case of the married director of Equatorial Guinea's National Financial Investigation Agency, it was intercourse. Participants included wives of prominent officials. But what was seen as being really improper was that the venue chosen by Engonga for his salacious videos was his office. This scandal has led to the country's vice-president announcing that the government will order 'immediate suspension of all civil servants who have had sexual relations in the offices of the ministries'. Or, as our folks in the Enforcement Directorate would have said, 'Get a room!'
