I lived and worked in Zambia in the late 70's visited Malawi, Botswana and South Africa, does that count? Has it not dawned on anyone yet why there are no postings from Africa? The Africans still have a social life and actually go out at night and dance to their music rather then spend hours in front of a monitor talking about it, or maybe it is just that 80-90% of internet computer users are based on the North American continent.
