Which is the most developed country in Africa?

1. South Africa 2. Botswana 3. Namibia 4. Ghana 5. Libya/Egypt/Angola

The most developed countries in Africa are probably South Africa and Egypt. They are second world countries.

I would think Egypt because it has the most tourism. but South Africa is pretty developed in some parts as well

Like asking who is the smartest kid in special ed....

South Africa is far and away the most developed country, but we are still classified as a developing nation by European & North American standards. Our economy is the most diversified. Most African states rely on agricluture/farming and mining or a mixture of both. South Africa, while exporting both agricultural goods and being a major player in coal, gold & platinum, has a thriving industrial sector. BMW, VW & Toyota have modern plants here and we build and export vehicles to countries in South-East Asia & Australasia. We are constantly upgrading and getting the lasest technology, but we are a mix of 1st and 3rd World country. Very advanced in certain areas, but still behind in others. Mainly is social standards are we considered 3rd World, but our economic & industrial levels are pretty high. For one, we were only a handfull of countries worldwide, including the US & Europe, that maintained it's credit investment level during the worldwide economic downturn. In other words, even though the global economy was not good, South Africa was still considered a safe place to invest, where as a country like Portugal, Greece and the US, were not. This shows that our economy is robust enough and developed enough to withstand a major economic crisis. I'd say Egypt, Botswana & Namibia are close behind. Angola, Tunisia & Ghana are improving rapidly too. Zimbabwe was South Africa's equal, but Robert Mugabe has effectively destroyed that country. It's mainly Southern Africa & North Africa (Arab nations), that approach the levels of European standards, but they are still some way off. Central, Eastern & Western Africa are still facing many social and political difficulties and along with chronic civil wars, their pace of development is severely hampered.
