Dangote Africa’s richest

* Nigerian industrialist Aliko Dangote has regained the first place as Africa's richest person, unseating Johann Rupert who had claimed the title in late August, according to Bloomberg Billionaire Index. The 66-year-old founder and CEO of the Dangote Group, a conglomerate of cement, sugar and oil industries, has reclaimed the first place with a fortune of $13.3bn after Rupert's net worth took a slump, data from the index showed on Saturday.
