The old Kyalami has almost entirely been built over, sadly.

It was certainly pretty successful, not any unusual horror stories. It's not going to go down in the pantheon of crap sporting events alongside the Atlanta Olympics.

F1 needs a race in Africa. where else could be a potential African location?

I'm not sure about saying it's needed, but it could add a bit of geographical symmetry. If you want a race in Africa, it's probably Kyalami with work on it, although Marrakech in Morocco has a WTCC round at the moment, the circuit is somewhat Mickey Mouse but that could be changed.
With regards to TV times, one potential question : what would be better for F1, a race at 1pm (Western Europe time)/2pm (Central Europe Time) or a race at 8pm (Western Europe time)/9pm (Central Europe Time), slap bang in primetime? Obviously both are superior to early morning starts. I'm not seriously calling for night races in Europe, although perhaps the thought of later race starts for the last few in the season could be a thought - done by having Brazil and the US at the end of the year.
