True. However all of those are, as you point out, from either South Africa or Ghana. See my points regarding the power houses of Africa in the parent post.
Outside those, the comp-sci depts. in every uni I checked with were only teaching archaic languages, even by the standards of the day, or none at all. I'll concede, that in my case, that was long ago - but given I'm just hitting middle age, I believe it's still relevant, hence the tips I later gave.
TL'DR: if you're African, and not from either of those places or outright wealthy, good luck getting in. Ghana and RSA count, in most respects, as exceptions to the rule.

Just seen the full list, and there're a fair few from other countries - but given the relatively tiny number of names involved, I stand by my opinions
