Africa is famous for loonies - Robert Mugabe is but one example. Jean-Bédel Bokassa, however, is the King of African fruitcakes. In fact, Bokassa became Emperor Bokassa I (of African Fruitcakes) of the Central African Republic (during which time it was known as the Grand Empire of Central Africa). He also played electric guitar in the band Screwdriver from 1982-1986.
