Africa must be the only continent where you follow marshaller's direction with EXTREME caution.
Always used to make me laugh watching the marshallers in LOS. Their signal to turn left/right was actually the signal for passing on to another marshaller !!. All done with hands in front of body so they could hardly be seen !!.
Used to watch the a/c start the turn onto stand, stop both pilots look at each other as if to say "WTF is this guy doing ?" realising what he does actually mean, then moving forward again !!!.
I tried to teach them the correct signals a few times, they listened, demonstrated the movements, then the next time an aircraft came in, they just did it their normal way
