Speaking generally, Is there an owner or prospective owner in the world that would pass the SC morality test?
Doesn't it work both ways? Is there an owner or a prospective owner in the world that wouldn't pass morality test to some?

Glad you enjoyed my home town
Can see why it's a no-brainer for them. Tourism is worth about 100b to them and the planned sponsorship is 1b over 3 years. If they see even close to the 5% Rwanda saw. Bearing in mind, Arsenal were not where they are now and Rwanda was not as attractive as SA.Jokes and criticism aside, if the numbers in this are correct, SA Tourism could actually see some pretty good ROI on this deal.
Arsenal sleeve deal gives Rwanda 5% UK tourism boost - SportsPro

You need to do a bit more research I'm afraid mate. Benni McCarthy did indeed play for Spurs, and made 7 first team appearances scoring 3 goals in the 96/97 season before moving to Ajax. FACT!!!Benny played for Jose. Jose managed spurs, hah link.
Arsenal and the 5% tourism boost Rwanda got.First the Gupta Brothers and now Levy. Couldn't make it up.
For a country badly hit by the pandemic and rising energy prices, I would have thought there are better ways of spending their money. How they believe sleeve sponsorship is going to boost tourism rather than, say, TV ads, I simply don't know?
Probably down to the 1.3 billion Premier league watches. That's not counting cough cough streams. That's some TV advertisingArsenal and the 5% tourism boost Rwanda got.

Just had a chat with my sister about it in the car on the way home. This story is in every news bulletin currently, TV and radio.The money is coming from their tourism budget. The reporting on the outrage makes it seem like we’re raiding the pension fund or something. If they’re that hard up as a country, maybe they shouldn’t have a tourism budget for the time being. That’s where people should be directing their anger.
From a very low base. Unlike South Africa Rwanda has limited income from tourism.Arsenal and the 5% tourism boost Rwanda got.

Rwanda is a fairly small country with limited attractions (mountain gorillas, Lake Kivu, Genocide Museum). I loved Rwanda, especially my very close encounter with a gorilla (it stepped on my foot). And I defy anybody not to be moved by the Genocide Museum; IMO far more poignant that Auschwitz. But it will never be a major tourist attraction.
South Africa, on the other hand, is a major tourist destination with its abundant wildlife, stunning scenery, vibrant cities and glorious beaches. It is badly affected by corruption. After saving the white rhino from extinction in the 60s and 70s, poacing is now rife. Last time I was in the Kruger Park, a ranger told me that they were losing a rhino every day. From a population of zero rhino in the Kruger in 1971, the population grew to 4000+ (rhino were re-located from Zululand) by 2000. The population is now in the hundreds and falling. The sponsorship money could be better spent on conservation, otherwise it is danger of losing its safari business, like its neighbour Mozambique did after most of its wildlife was wiped out during the Civil War.
