Mtoto wa KIKE wa Rais Dos Santos wa ANGOLA ni $ 31 with 500 Million Dallars

Nigerians, South Africans, and Egyptians dominate the list!

 

[Ngagarupalu]

wapi Rostam Aziz? au mnamsingiziaga?

 

[Mwanahisa]

South Africa, Nigeria na Egypt wamedominate list kwa sababu ya uimara wa masoko yao ya mitaji. Ni wakati sasa Capital Market and Security Authority (CMSA) waamke na kushika makampuni yote ya simu nchini yawe listed kwenye soko la hisa. Hata Mzee Bakhresa angeweza kushika number za juu zaidi kama SSB ingekua inamilikiwa kwa hisa. Mwenzie Dangote anafunga unga pia ila kashika number moja kwa sababu ya ukuzaji wa mtaji kwa njia ya soko la hisa. Big up wapiganaji mlioingia kwenye list ya top 40 in Africa.
