Vote for Forbes Africa's 'Person of the Year'

Forbes Africa has asked people to vote from among five nominees up for its "Person of the Year" award, which will be awarded on 17 November.

Michiel le Roux, founder of Capitec Bank - "who has made banking more accessible for South Africans"

South Africa's former anti-corruption tsar Thuli Madonsela - "who is alleged to have favoured the Democratic Alliance (DA). Her deputy said she changed a report with adverse findings against the DA until the local government elections had passed."

Mauritian President Ameenah Gurib - "who is spearheading the drive to protect her nation's environment"

Tanzanian President John Magufuli, nicknamed "Bulldozer" for his no-nonsense approach - nominated because he "has had a significant hand in boosting the nation's economy".

And an all-encompassing option:

The people of Rwanda - "for how the country has reformed and is prioritising gender equality".
