I see from the list that the WHITE SETTLERS (aka the BOERS)  and Asians are still in charge of what happens in SOUTH AFRICA.

No wonder the BLACKS in SOUTH AFRICA are “unhappy!” They STILL have NO say on their OWN land.

My dear black South Africans - STOP blaming the Nigerians and other Africans - instead get an education and improve yourselves.

I see...Mohammed Salah seems to be the only sports person on that list...never underrate the power of sports...and also, I strongly believe that Sadio Mané is being seriously underrated...like seriously this guy is like the hottest footballer in Africa now and one of the hottest in the world...so wasup???
