SA Ranked 2025 Most Powerful Country In Africa (LIST) by RandDigital(op):
South Africa has been named the most powerful country in Africa for 2025, also ranking as the 28th most powerful country in the world. Egypt is the only other African country that made the global Top 50, ranking 32nd and number 2 in Africa.

The 2025 World Population Review based the rankings on economic strength, political influence, exports, alliances and military power.

When you go to Egypt and South Africa, you will agree that they deserve it, most especially Egypt.
It is wrong to address Egypt as a developing country.
Definitely Nigeria will not make the list, even if the numbers will increase to the most powerful 500 countries in the world 🌍.
Nigeria will still be missing.
A country where farmers pay tax to bandit's can never be on that list.

Can you allow me start a SA-Egypt contest? Which parts of Egypt are more developed than these parts of Cape Town and Johannesburg?

Let's post pics and see who wins!

1 + 2 Cape Town
3 + 4 Johannesburg

Who concocted this rubbish? You mean Egypt is stronger than North Korea, and Venezuela is stronger than Finland and Nigeria? Nonsense!

ALL, I repeat ALL African countries are still developing. We are all still struggling with open defeacation, endemic poverty, high unemployment rates, insecurity, HIV/diseases spread, high crime rates, high inequality and all other indices that properly define developing nations in that regard. It is not all about beautiful cities and structures. Funnily so, most African countries are now already closing in on fine structures here and there. I have traveled around enough and I am safe to tell you that Africa is yet to have a developed nation in the sense of the word.

I don't recall disputing this but open defeaction is specifically your problem over there in Naija

If India with two Aircraft carriers and with 2 nuclear armed submarines are placed below UAE .

God only knows , The stupid medology , they used .

Funny part is UK has more Admirals than the naval ships they operate and Germany is placed at 5 position grin grin grin and this a country which has US bases all over in its own soil .

Try better things to degenerate other countries .

Even in the UK, you can find anti-social characters occasionally dropping a turd in public when no one is looking! However, open defection is an exception rather than the norm! There are public toilets all over cities in the UK, and you’re never far from one. I would imagine South-Africa is similarly equipped. This isn’t the case with Nigerian towns and cities!

Your pictures of cape town are interesting.
I was in the Middle East for 7 years and also spent so much time in Egypt and Dubai.
The City of Alexandria is the second Florida in the World 🌍.
Alexandria is far more beautiful than many European cities.
You will enjoy their food, culture and life style.
They are not Islamic extremist. Very free and receptive people. Many of them speak English.

Then about Cairo-
Cairo is often considered among beautiful cities in the world 🌍 due to its unique blend of ancient wonders like the Pyramids, the historic Nile River, and stunning Islamic architecture (mosques, minarets, bazaars) alongside the Belle Époque boulevards.
Cairo offers a rich tapestry of history and vibrant modern life, sometimes even earning historical accolades like "most beautiful city" in the early 20th century.
The Cairo International Airport was recently voted one of the most beautiful and best Airport in world.

View some images of the City of Alexandria.

Ok, Alexandria looks nice (better than Cairo). Your last picture with multiple road lanes is a computer graphic though.

These are real Cape Town pictures (below) - voted best city in the word multiple times. Also, South Africa is a founding member of BRICS and G20 (only African country). That's because it's so much ahead of other African countries in multiple indices and it's clear to see how.

Cairo has nothing on Cape Town..this is a fact.. They are only now building "New Cairo" which is an upgrade on the old Cairo which doesn’t look good at all

Sandton is miles ahead. Like the title says, SA is the most powerful and has been for decades. One Worst African cow-ntry with loud mouth has been claiming giant but doesn't come close to SA and Egypt, even Namibia👇🏽
