African leaders will go to tremendous lengths to ensure that they travel in armored, top-of-the-line vehicles that make a statement. This is understandable, given the nature of their work and their importance in the country. As a result, they'll opt for a vehicle that can move fast, manage tough terrain, and be incredibly stable and secure around curves.
Wine chillers, refrigerators, high-definition televisions, and multimedia, as well as every bit of comfort as they travel, are all available on wheels exclusively for the big boss. However, this isn't cheap, especially when there are lots of them. The taxpayers will be responsible for this expense. Automobiles are, after all, toys.
