Finally Bakayoko shows up to support the strikers that praise him so much as a leader. His character is pretty interesting as he seems almost overly confident and to agressive in his manner. The way his character was built up makes his introduction almost anti-climactic instead of what most probably anticipated. His actually enterecne into the story was very understated and quiet. Its not until they meet with the managers that his real "passion" comes out. Although i see it more as just a bad temper. It seems as if he almost has the potential to ruin what the stikers have been working for as much as he can help it.
In chapter 16 another leader somewhat emerges in Penda as she leads the march, almost entirely successfuly. I saw Penda as a leader earlier as she displays a very strong independent personality earlier in the book. Penda's death comes as a big suprise too, I think it helps to show peoples willingness to fight for their cause as the marchers press on.
