The saddest one to me is South Africa. From segregation to third world – two terrible outcomes

Whenever electricity in South Africa is mentioned I have to bring up the rugby match where loadshedding occurs during it and the commentators [absolutely crash out ](https://youtu.be/1ZO7mVFGRVI?si=VJSaoD0PiNfA3hnI). Piss myself laughing every time

Honestly what happened in post-colonial West Africa was sad. Basically any solid socialist leadership was either overthrown or assasinated by french inteligence.
Before the recent wave of military coups, all of the dictatorships there could be traced to pro-french families to some extent.

South Africa and Kenya I don’t believe. Nigeria I know has it, but I guess not everyone?

Impressive that Botswana has it despite being a land locked country. Landlocked countries in Africa are usually the most unstable.Â

The potential for off grid solar in Africa is “Sky is the Limit”. Most of the continent is blessed with sunshine and any level of government regulation is happily absent. Anybody selling/distributing economy “balcony solar” packages will be an overnight millionaire.

Is it actually stable in Ivory Coast? It’s almost 20 years ago now. But when I lived in Ghana that was the star story of Western Africa so to see Ivory Coast overtaking Ghana in this department is a shock to me

Poor South Africa.. So much promise. Wasted by consistent poor governance.

Libya used to be the country that always in the top 5 when it comes to statistics like this one in africa.
Libyans not only used to have stable electricity but it was also for free alongside water and they barely paid any taxes, an oil rich country with a huge potential .
The Nato intervention was a disaster and failure the country now split and unstable , they have isis and other terrorist organisations to deal with add to it foreign interventions, Turks , Russians , emirati and other vultures now competing to exploit their resources, every country that westerners enter they live in ruins, many such cases.
