UT found this article in the
Guardian, about a book called, "
Gentlemen of Bacongo".
The article calls them "sapeurs", but they look like pimps to me.
The strangest part of the story is their location, Bacongo is a small suburb of Brazzaville in Congo, Africa.
These "sapeurs" would certainly stand out in any city, but in Bacongo, "like a sore thumb", would certainly apply.
In the middle of that poverty, I can't help but wonder what these guys do for a living?
Other questions come to mind also;
Are they laughed at?
Are they envied?
Are they hated?
Are they targets?
A lot more questions than answers.
