In the Mail & Guardian, Binyavanga Wainaina on tips to becoming a dictator:
Rule 1. Be the richest man in your country (Daniel arap Moi, Robert Mugabe).More here
If you are a second-generation dictator, this is not hard; just blackmail the guy who came before you (Frederick Chiluba). If you come from an oil-producing country, this is even easier (many Nigerians and Angolans, Chad). If you are a Kenyan, the National Social Security Council is always good for a few billion. Defence contracts even better (all presidents). Money-printing contracts, the best (all presidents). If you are a South African, then anything with the word "black empowerment" works fine.
