top answer you are wrong plz do mroe research
its about the country's economy and richest not about your own point of view-_-
My Answer: Mauritius may be the richest in terms of per capita but that does not mean that it is the overall richest .. by far the richest African country is south Africa as it has the biggest economy followed by Egypt and also is the richest country in terms of natural resources having the most platinum and gold reserves in the world and infrastructure is of a world class standards and supports many African countries . for example Durban harbor supports Zimbabwe Mozambique and 2 other African countries. their facilities e.g malls museums etc are of a world class standard not to mention they have hosted the cricket soccer and rugby world cups which are very big events worldwide. People say that Nigeria is the richest country in Africa .. NOT AT ALL!! .. they may have lots of oil but have a very bad standard of living and facilities .. not to mention all the drugs and human trafficking in Nigeria.. companies like Dstv and Eskom and Mweb are south African companies but support most of Africa (especially Nigeria)
