5. Cape Verde
From this country, things become serious on our list of laziest countries in Africa. Besides being described as lazy on VenasNews, this country also has more than 20% of inactive people. The number of unemployed people goes over 15%, and they have a low number of literate people, as well. Even though we know this country mostly to white sand beaches and turquoise sea; pirates, political turmoil, and economy crisis led to emigration and poorness. It is amazing how this country, known to great touristic potential, still has a problem with uneducated and unemployed people.
