Credit Suisse made a list of Africa’s top 50 personalities, and it includes the following names:

• Trevor Ncube, Alpha Media Holdings (AMH) founder and chairman.
• Aliko Dangote, Nigerian billionaire
• Tony Elumelu, Nigerian billionaire
• Didier Drogba, footballer
• Donald Kaberuka, African Development Bank president
• Isabel dos Santos, Angola businesswoman
• Strive Masiyiwa, Zimbabwean, telecommunications mogul and philanthropist, Zimbabwe’s most successful businessma
• Divine Ndhlukula, Zimbabwean, Securico founder, Africa's most successful woman

“These 50 people personify modern Africa: entrepreneurs and artists, athletes, politicians and activists,” Credit Suisse said.

For example, Divine Ndhlukula had founded the company with four people, and now he employed over 3 600. She is Africa's most successful woman: her success was extraordinary “because it is rare in a patriarchal society like Zimbabwe to find a woman running a business in the security sector”.
