At least 14 journalists covering the war have been killed, making the sight of a politician effectively cosplaying as an investigative reporter a deeply unsavoury spectacle, writes ChrisRoper.

Tintin in the Congo was published in 1931. It tells the story of the intrepid reporter Tintin and his dog, Snowy, who go to the Belgian Congo on a fact-finding mission. There are the typical racist tropes of the almost entirely unwoke literature of the colonial 1930s, such as civilising colourful Congolese natives, some big game hunting, and other encounters with wild animals. There’s also the somewhat odd discovery of a diamond smuggling gang run by none other than Al Capone.

I’m not, of course, suggesting that John Steenhuisen, leader of the DA, shadow minister for Fikile Mbalula and holder of the Order of the Slap Tjip , has anything in common with an annoying parody of an investigative reporter with a bad haircut, an “idealised man-boy” as Krishnadev Calamur once described him in The Atlantic.
