New Global Challengers

The Boston Consulting Group has just released a report (PDF) listing companies that they consider the "New Global Challengers":

Until recently,only a dozen or so RDE(rapidly developing economies)-Based companies could have been described as emerging global challengers. Today these challengers number in the hundreds. Among them, the RDE100 will play important roles in shaping the global marketplace

In a cautionary note to the developed world's incumbents:

These companies are no longer poised on some far horizon;they are globalizing fast and are determined to stay the course. The leaders of today's global companies must be prepared to meet their challenge

The "100 Top Companies from Rapidly Developing Economies that Are Changing the World" includes countries from the usual suspects, China, India, Brazil,Turkey etc.None of these 'Southern Multinationals' are from Sub-Saharan Africa. No SSA country was intepreted as a 'rapidly developing country' enough to have any of their companies on the list. The continents only listed company is Orascom of Egypt.
Who then could be seen as the rising contender/s of the future? Are they:Ocean and Oil, Globacom, Transcorp, Softtribe,Shoprite , ABC Transport and others? Which SSA companies can we perceive as having the right combination of dynamism, innovation, increasing global reach and market share to earn a place on future and other similarly based lists?
