Present-day Egyptians are NOT African. They are mostly Arab.

Also, Egypt and South Africa aren't even close to being counted as rich. Let's say you are a rich country if your GDP per capita surpasses $20K. Let's say you are average if your GDP per capita is somewhere around $8K.

South Africa GDP per capita as of 2015: $5,691.69 USD. All time high in 2011 is $8,081.42 USD.

Egypt GDP per capita as of 2015: $3,614.75 USD. All time high in 2015 at  $3,614.75 USD.

These nations aren't even on world average! They are below the world standard, so you cannot call them rich nations, or even okay nations for that matter, though they are better off than their other neighbors.
