In South Africa we have a couple: 1. Mark Shuttleworth - more famous for how he used the money that he made on the Internet, than his role in the Internet itself. He was the first South African to go to space, and has started many foundations promoting Science and Technology - and is behind a big push to get open source software into schools (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth) / http://www.markshuttleworth.com/ 2. Ronnie Apteker - was part of the team that started Internet Solutions - and now makes movies. May seem a bit thin - there are some very famous South African who no longer live in South Africa.....
