How will South Africa be affected if the Suez Canal closes?
If the Suez Canal closes, all shipping traffic going to Europe from the East will have to go around the Southern tip of the African continent. This means all ships will have to pass South Africa on route to Europe or back. South Africa being the most modern country in the Southern part of Africa, all the shipping traffic would mean increased fuel stops, tourism, port expansion, etc. In short, this would spell an economic boom for South Africa.
