Which African countries have the largest numbers of vegetarians/vegans?

I am seriously interested in this for research purposes. Please, please, please do not reply by saying ';I don't know,'; or, ';Why should it matter?';


And please do not respond with ethical/political arguments, such as ';How would you like to live in the third world?'; or ';Have you ever tried living in Africa?'; etc.





Please be assured that I am asking as part of a wider exploration, including google searches, etc, and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who knew, particularly the African veggies themselves!Which African countries have the largest numbers of vegetarians/vegans?
Probably South Africa it has the most forward thinking people.Which African countries have the largest numbers of vegetarians/vegans?
maybe Ethiopia cause a lot of Ethiopian dishes are vegetarian, they use alot of vegetarian friendly foods like curry for flavor and lentils and veggies and more.

I've never heard of anyone taking a census of veggies in Africa. However per the IVU they only show 23 veggie organizations there. Uganda has two if that means anything!





Here's a link to the IVU, mayhaps you can contact some of these organizations for more detailed information.
Many of the vegan or almost vegan African restaurants around here are Ethiopian.
South Africa. With the larger proportion of Europeans, it has a higher number who are vegetarian.
