As a South African, i can say people would be surprised at how many here in SA are catching onto Crypto Currency. Cheap android cell phones are becoming the norm as it offers an easy way to get connected to the internet, access email etc.
I have spoken to one of the local guys selling cryptos on the street using he's cell phone to exchange coins for the locals to send back home to other African countries, as allot of them work here in SA and send it back home, without the need of a bank account and all the fees associated with them. They might not be buying large amounts, but a large amount of them are exchanging for coins and its been said that the local South Africans are even developing there own lingo for use of Cryptos.
The point is, its catching on quicker here than most people realize.
I myself am doing my part as well with promoting Goldcoin, which i plan on promoting throughout the whole country, which i already started in Port Elizabeth, with another conference coming in January.
I am already well connected with the locals exchanging coins and with the more serious exchanges and with promoting Goldcoin as the new Gold Coin for South Africa (the old one being the Kruger Rand), I truly believe Crypto Currency is going to be big here in Beautiful South Africa.
