Bring Realms to Africa/South Africa: Fair Play for All

I would like Mojang to establish official Minecraft Realms servers in Africa, starting with South Africa.
Why:
Right now, African players are forced to connect to servers in Brazil, Europe, or the Middle East. This creates very high latency and constant lag spikes. Personally, my experience on Brazilian and Saudi Arabian Realms has been so unpleasant that I stopped playing on Realms altogether, even though I love the concept.
Adding African servers would:
•     Greatly improve gameplay for millions of players across the continent.
•     Make Realms more attractive and accessible to African players, increasing subscriptions.
•     Support Minecraft’s global community by ensuring fairer access to stable servers.
How:
•     Deploy at least one Realms hub in South Africa (Johannesburg or Cape Town are major internet exchange points).
•     Expand to other regions of Africa as demand grows.
•     Communicate rollout plans so players know their region is being considered.

African players—if you want smoother Realms and fairer play, please vote for this idea!
