Facebook has open its first African office in South Africa despite having more Nigerians on the social network. Nigeria presently has about 12 million people on the network against South Africa's 12 million.
The office will be headed by Nunu Ntshingila, a former executive at the advertising agency Ogilvy.
"This office will support the significant growth in businesses and people using Facebook," said a statement from the world's biggest social network, which has some 1.4 billion active users worldwide including 120 million in Africa.
"We are inspired by the incredible ways people and businesses in Africa use Facebook to connect," said Nicola Mendelsohn, regional vice president for Facebook.
