Necroing the thread because steam + season 7 ♥
The game is great and for sure there's lots of players in this region ( + Indian Ocean) who want to enjoy the game & throw some cash within a better network/connection infrastrutcture.
EA , please reconsider : you will make money and overall good publicity from running datacenter in this region.

+1 for SA servers. We have servers for the BF games (except BFV for some reason) so it should'nt be that difficult imo.
On reddit AMA, Game Director was a bit elusive on the possibility of a SA server.

South Africa now has AWS infrastructure in CapeTown wich btw seems to not have the Gamelift feature to host game servers (yet?)
But even if EA miraculously decide to put money in server rental & we log into a SA data center => for the sake of creating matches asap and not wait several minutes in queue , we'll still be "matchmaked" with players from different regions on a random server (not necessarily SA) and potentially suffer from high latency/PL.
Apart from main gaming market$ (US, EU, Asia), the other regions are considered subpar : these are facts.
