WI there was no large-scale European settlement in South Africa? Maybe more along the lines of OTL's Mauritius or Kenya? I think this would have a serious effect on both Southern Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa's geopolitics? Would SA be in better or worse shape, and what would Southern Africa look like? There would have been no Namibian issue, Angola would probably have been at war, but it wouldn't have been at the scale of 1975-1990 when the Saffas and the Cubans were duking it out.
