I think the crypto situation in China is going to be a mess, so for those seeking to do business offshore (Away from the USA, that is!) Africa is will be a better bet.

A comment on a video from the owner or a 1,2 million alexa rank for the website?
I have seen posts by dozens of bitcoin users from Kenya and Tanzania here in Bitcointalk. They seems to be very impressed by Kipochi / M-Pesa.

LOL, do you have some proof to back that up?

And the hype about Kipochi
And the ...0.
Let's stop with this india , africa , venezueala , south america , peru non-sense.
Bitcoin will grow in the countries where there is the infrastructure already in place and where average citizens have enough money to spend it daily , not for safekeeping them from lions.

I'm working on a short documentary, filmed over two weeks in Kenya. The question is 'Whether Bitcoin Can Help The Unbanked'. Here's the trailer:

I guess it makes intuitive sense that africa would adopt bitcoin because the existing financial system is more problematic than in rich countries so bitcoin is immediately more competitive.
After the events of 2008, where private institutional banking extorted the elected government of the United States to socialize their losses (while retaining private profits, not going to jail, giving themselves bonuses, and running scams with T-bills) incurred by selling toxic, bullshit financial instruments to the rest of the world, I think the most problematic banking system in the world is obvious. It's not in Africa.

Yep, this will do good for the silk road 
Why? Do you think that Africans are potential SR 2.0 customers?
Africa - promised land of Bitcoin?
It makes sense to me. Consider this, that there are many African countries that have highly mismanaged centralized banks and unstable and corrupt political leadership. Assuming that bitcoin grows to become a significant world currency, then bitcoin would make a lot of sense in developing economies on the continent.
Good points and valid ones at that!

There is a money exchange place in downtown Nairobi where you can exchange bitcoins for fiat.

This I have not heard of, any chance you have more details? Or can you visit it one day? Is it just a few random people who have bitcoin or is it like a business/kiosk?
