I'm just going off what we've seen in the past few years of TAR.
Singapore has never been visited in a westward race. I highly doubt they'll change it up now.
There will be no Taiwan because it's clear CBS doesn't like Taiwan and recieves a lot of sponsors from China. This explains the overuse of China and the underuse of Taiwan, which has a lot of cool things to be done.
No west africa because the only visitable west african country is namibia, and that was just visited. Angola is still plagued with land mines.
No south africa. Here's why:

Have you read the threads here? Taiwan recently sponsored a casting call, ie they are a sponsor. TAR26 flew into Taiwan first (I would assume because of sponsorship) before flying to Tokyo (even though there are direct flights from LAX into Tokyo).
Your whole post is just made up of guesses (and sorry some are just bad).

--- Quote ---South Africa is notorious for an extraordinarily high violent crime rate (although part of this may be due to better crime reporting than most developing countries). It's not unheard of for the police to refuse to leave their air-conditioned offices to investigate crime on the basis that "it's too dangerous out there!" South Africa is consistently ranked at somewhere between 14 to 18 among the countries with the highest murder rates in the world (31.8 per 100,000 per year as of 2013).

I was just there and while there IS an inkling of a high crime rate particularly at night (most establishments are closed by 9 PM), South Africa is relatively safe and I had a wonderful time there.
As long as they don't make racers go at night or in dangerous areas, I don't see why they can't go there? TAR2 and 7 did it.

South Africa is definitely safe and Cape Town is a better place to visit, including a nearby South Africa wine region particularly in towns of Paarl, Franschhoek, Pniel and Stellenbosch.

READ MY SIG AND PAY ATTENTION.
RUDENESS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. SO WATCH IT.
If you want to post wishlists, take it there.
Educated speculation is always appreciated. Consider flights, terrorism, climate for starters.
Leafs is correct about Taiwan sponsoring a casting call. Although the route via Taiwan previously I believe at have been more to allow production to get ahead.
