The magazine based it on, what it calls, ‘the enormous influence that the ANCYL has on South African politics’, including it’s hand in the election of Jacob Zuma. They also go on to say that Malema is one of the countries most ‘divisive’ and ‘polarising’ figures and that he frequently ‘stirs controversy with his racial slurs’. They couldn’t be more correct.
Billionaire Mark Shuttleworth, advocate Euvin Naidoo and Standard Bank CEO David Munro also made it onto the list, along with Democratic Republic of Congo president Joseph Kabila and Madagascar president Andry Rajoelina.
Shuttleworth earned his keep when he founded Ubuntu, a computer operating system distributed as free open source software. The Shuttleworth Foundation, a trust that funds individuals actively engaged in social change projects, also earned him the title as one of Africa’s most powerful young men.
As president of the SA Chamber of Commerce in America, Forbes dubbed Naidoo as “one of the most renowned advocates for western investments in Africa” .
Munro earned his title after he was selected by the World Economic Forum as the 2009 Young Global Leader.
