I'm very curious what the stats are actually measuring...

Over six million hosts for South Africa? There are about 1.3 million ZA 
Domains. There were about 25% non-ZA domains in use in South Africa (4:1 
ratio, ZA:Non-ZA) (the https://dnsstudy.africa project), so I'm guessing 
that there are a little less than two million domains in South Africa in 
total. So what does 6 Million hosts mean?

Many Domains do not have Web Sites, others have place holders (website 
coming soon messages).

Kenya just recently reached 100,000 domains and three years ago - there 
were more non KE domains than KE domains (5:4 ratio, non-KE:KE)...

Perhaps AFTLD needs to have the DNS Study re-run - and this time get as 
many ccTLD's to opt in (with Zone copies) as possible along with the 
Observatory (all of which I'd love to be involved with).

Look at 
https://dnsstudy.africa/AfricanDNSMarketStudyPresentation2017-06-23.pdf, 
slide 17 onwards for the recommendations.
(We still have all the code - etc!)

Also 
https://dnsstudy.africa/AfricaDomainNameSystemMarketStudy2016FinalReportVersion1.03h.pdf 
from page 147 (of 213) goes into various stats.
