Ethiopia will make its debut in the World at War. They are one of the African civs that are started in the Classical era (as Kingdom of Aksum). Later on, they will found the Ethiopian Empire, which that means there might be massive number of unique flavor units that had from the Medieval era until mostly after WW2. The ruling dynasty, the House of Solomon, ruled Ethiopia from 1270 until it's overthrow by the communist Derg in 1974. Note that Ethiopia is the only country in Africa that hasn't been colonized by a foreign power just like Thailand.

Ethiopian civs:

Firaxis' Ethiopia (Haile Selassie)
[BNW] Agla's and TranquilSilence's Derg Ethiopia

In World at War, here are the Ethiopian unique flavor units during the late Imperial period of Ethiopian history. They are ranged from Industrial to WW2 eras. Note that Ethiopia cannot build tanks and aircraft until WW2 era.

Next is South Africa, which is represented by the Zulus. Being a dominion of the British Empire, it starts in WW1 era. Later, it will become a Republic as a result of it breaking ties with the Monarchy in London, but returned to the fold after its democratization in 1994. Nowadays, South Africa remains a republic within the Commonwealth.

Unfortunately, @TPangolin 's mod, the South Africa led by Nelson Mandela, is no longer available in the workshop as of last year. It seems Colonialist Legacies no longer mods Civ V anymore.
