Doesn't count, it was a product of apartheid loving NP voting racist colonial white people.

Allycad, a CAD program for the IBM PC XT (and later AT), written by Allyson Lawless.

Due to her interest in computer programming she moved on to develop and market civil engineering software and introduced low cost design, CAD and GIS solutions to the South African market. As a result of her marketing efforts her name has become synonymous with civil engineering and she was named IT personality of the Civil Engineering Century when the South African Institution of Civil Engineering (SAICE) celebrated its centenary in 2003. Although she has sold most of her software interests, AllyCAD is still widely used in South Africa and further afield.*
