Similarly, South Africa grapples with issues like electricity shortages and crony capitalism, leading to two recessions within just two years before the pandemic.
These obstacles have hindered the potential for these nations to become dominant economic centers in sub-Saharan Africa, providing a stark contrast to the promising developments taking place in Kenya.
