AFCON Quarter Final Results: DR Congo Wins Battle of the Congos, Host Boots Out Tunisia

Two dramatic come from behind victories sent Congo DR and host Equatorial Guinea through to the AFCON semi-finals as the last eight of the competition commenced in essence today.

Equatorial Guinea have been riding the host nation wave since the tournament began, and a combination of the referee’s favour, a rabid home fan base, and Javier Balboa led them to a 2-1 extra time win over favourites Tunisia.

In the earlier quarter final, DR Congo came from two goals down, with three goals in the last fifteen minutes to dispatch off a wasteful Congo by 4-2.

Tunisia took control of a scrappy game in the 70th minute, when Akaichi hit a sweet shot first time on a cross from the right. The North Africans looked on course for a demoralising victory over the hosts, until Balboa equalised barely a minute from time.

The referee whistled for a penalty, probably the softest penalty decision in the history of the game. But being host has its perks, and Javier Balboa wasted no time in dispatching the kick to send the game into extra time.

The Moral Maze: Is It Better To Be Honest And Poor Or Dishonest And Rich?

Injustices and dishonesty have pervaded the earth. Many people put in the helm of affairs grossly exhibit dishonesty to the extent people have come to accept it as a norm. Dishonesty and corruption are used interchangeably so for the purpose this article I will resort to both usage in a variable context.

The 2013 global corruption barometer, published by the Transparency International, reported that people worldwide have the perception that the five most corrupt institutions are political parities, the police, public officials, the legislature and the judiciary.

Dishonesty is flaunted conspicuously and is found every facet of life-in school, the church, market and virtually everywhere. And when such contaminated environments are created, honest or upright people tend to suffer.

Years ago a military ruler, ex President Jerry John Rawlings practically wiped market women in a brutal fashion because they duped unsuspecting public in purchasing substandard commodities. Others also hoard their merchandise only to sell it at incredible exorbitant prices when there was scarcity beyond the reach of the ordinary citizen.

That was when the popular Ghanaian phrase, ‘kalabule’ was coined. Market women, mix red palm oil with other materials to boost its quantity and bolster profits, among other debasing acts.  This deceit is not only perpetuated by market women. City officials are chronically addicted to this act. Approximately two years ago, Melcom, a very famous shopping mall collapsed and killed about four people whilst others sustain various degrees.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the builders used inferior materials to erect the edifice, while city authorities looked unconcerned. The conclusion was that evidently some of the officials have been bribed. In 1995 in Seoul, South Korea, 502 people died in department-store. Investigators found out that officials had been bribed to allow contractors to use substandard concrete and to violate safety rules.
