Well, this is a first even for Africa.

Burundian President Évariste Ndayishimiye made an unprecedented move that has attracted the internet’s limelight to his country after his recent directive.

President Évariste Ndayishimiye does not want any of his staff indulging themselves in extramarital affairs in his effort to moralize the society in Burundi.

This directive is believed to be implemented in the honor of the late Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza who had earlier announced the plan to moralize Burundi back in May 2017.

The directive will see every other government official who is married but involved in extra-marital affairs getting fired in an effort to curb extra-marital affairs in the country.
