What is the most venomous spider found in Africa?

The most venomous spider found in Africa is the Six-eyed sand spider (Sicarius hahni). It is found in deserts and sandy areas of southern Africa, including Namibia, South Africa, and Botswana.

However, despite its potent venom, the Six-eyed sand spider is not considered to be highly dangerous to humans, as it is not aggressive and rarely comes into contact with people.
