Who will save Africa's strongmen?

The Akans of Ghana have this proverb on the idea of the interrelatedness of life and death:
Nyame boo owuo na owuo kum Nyame; na Nyame na ote nanka aduro nti odii owuo so nkonim interalia this translate laterally as:
this means:
The Akan believe that
The Creator created things;
When He created things,
He created Life;
When He created Life,
He created Death;
When He created Death,
Death killed Him;
When He died,
Life came into Him and woke Him up;
Thereafter, He lived forever.

For certain is death for the born. And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the inevitable. In the course of the year 2012, the icy cold hands of death has claimed four of Africa's leaders. It appears that inspite of all the wealth and power at their disposal, they were no match for the power of death. Regardless of who you are or where you're from, death is certain. But what is funny is that even though we know it's coming, we fear it including the so-called strongmen of Africa.

Guinea Bissau (Malam Bacai Sanhá 64; 9 January 2012)

Malawi (Bingu wa Matharika 78; April 5, 2012)

Ghana (John Atta Mills 68; July 24, 2012)

Ethiopia (Meles Zenawi Asres 57; 8 May 1955 – 20 August 2012)

All these death coming within the first eight months of 2012 I believe had dwarfed Prophet TB Joshua's prophesy that one African leader was going to die in 2012. The big question I am running through the minds of Africa's strongmen still alive is:
Who will be the next to go?
 and or ?
Why ordinary African civil and public servants have to retire mandatory by age 60 years old but the 54 African Chief Civil servants are not subjected to same rule? Africa will learn to escape this fate.
