Harare (Zimbabwe) has better infrastructure than Nairobi (Kenya) even after mugabe destroyed the country. Could it be the Mzungus left in 1980 while ours left in 1963?
S.Africa (for all the inequalities) remains 'richer' than most African countries including (very) resource rich Congo & Nigeria. Mbeki was OK but zuma is a recipe for disaster.
Namibia was a late bloomer but doing quite well compared to other African countries.
Ghana was first African nation to become independent. It is resource rich (esp gold) lakini a basket-case.
Mauritius is an African island but controlled/ruled by Mhindis. It seems to be doing well even in this current crisis. This small country/island has an airline almost the size of KQ.
