Many South African fortnite players are struggling with intense high ping. To the point where they no longer can, or want, to play the game. There are many talented South Africans who can get very far in competitions and could possibly win but they are struggling with the consistent lag and high ping. 

We need to make this petition to Epic Games as they have the power to say yes to South African servers. We have all asked for almost 3 years if not more. If we win in this petition then South Africans will have an equal experience and ability to win just like the rest of the world who have their own servers. Bringing servers to South Africa could inspire more people to join and continue playing the game. This will keep the constant popularity of fortnite and could possibly increase it, but with the lag we experience people might download fortnite and just not bother again. 

From what ive seen and experienced myself,  many people pay alot of real money to buy skins(characters), gunwraps and emotes just to stop playing out of frustration caused from lag. Fortnite is really a good game with amazing features and events. Naming the marshmallow and travis scott event, as well as many more. There are competitions to win and even a game mode to just build and chill in. But none of this can be done or experienced when it is impossible to move throughout the game when there is lag. South Africa needs servers! Please Epic.
