It turns out that this weed brings out the hate that people have for their politicians - those with opposite views of course. I was amused by this so I thought I would share the fun around. In Cameroon and Central Africa it is called "Bokassa" (name of a former Central African Republic dictator). In Congo it is called Lantana Ngouabi (a previous Congo president). In Côte d'Ivoire it is called Sékou Touré (a former dictator of Guinea), In Ghana it is called Acheampong weed (after a former dictator of Ghana). In Indonesia it is called Rumput Gol.Kar.
