(South) African Twitch Ingest Server

It would be great if you guys could set an African, or South African, server up at some point in the not-too-distant future. I live in South Africa and have a really hard time streaming to any of the EU, let alone the NA or Asian ones. Currently YouTube has streaming servers here but it just isn't the same streaming to YouTube Gaming. The Twitch community is what makes it what it is and not being able to run a stable stream from here in South Africa turns so many would-be streamers away from potential bright futures on Twitch.tv. We have a large community of gamers ready and waiting.

Please consider setting a server up for us down here or wherever else you can that's not too far. South Africa and the other countries nearby deserve a chance too! :D

    SA streamers will bring you more revenue. Help us

    There are so many talented south African streamers I mean we could probably hold an SA twitch con with the amount of streamers we have but local ingest servers without having to use a relay would be awesome 😁😁😁

    I currently Stream via Radeon Relive with a custom stream url for stability and would love to switch over to Twitch studio, but with out better servers my stream becomes very unstable.

    This is a real must, we even have some really great DCs Teraco, Hetzner, ADC...Local ingests could really really improve stream quality from South African streamers, right now our community is relying on relays that, let's be honest aren't the best way to stream.

    This is a great idea and needs to happen I enjoy content from South Africa but it is continually interupted or disconnected because there is not a dedicated server

    The SA streaming community is growing everyday! We need Relays in SA to help better the streams... dealing with 3 that actually work and not very well is frustrating and can lead to many streamers giving up.

    GIVE US THE SA RELAYS

    The South African content creation community is sizeable and growing every day! We are so ready for a more stable connection to Twitch, which will not only benefit South African creators but also a great deal of other southern hemisphere creators

    Our gaming/streaming community is so vibrant and ready , we just need the infrastructure so Our streams don't go offline for no reason during our 12 hour streams :(

    There are several international underwater cables landing in South Africa or close to it. By providing ingest servers here you would be giving better streaming access to several countries in the southern hemisphere of Africa.

    Servers in South Africa, PLEASE!!!! We need dedicated Twitch servers here. It is almost impossible to have a stream schedule when you have to rely on a server connection that is half way across the planet. Why is the entire continent of Africa still a dead zone when it comes to gaming and streaming servers?
