Not that rare in this country. Many Africans are real polyglots, too. Their native tongue may be some smaller or larger language spoken by their ethnic group. In addition to having knowledge of a language spoken by their neighbours, they might speak a regional lingua franca such as Swahili and the national language of education and governance like English. Their proficiency in all these languages tends to be at high level if they have had an education.

Very true.
