Airlines that have already announced PENDING ST membership include COPA, Kenya AW, Air Europa, MEA and Tarom as well as CZ. Malaysian is negotiating, and there have been reports that Royal Air Maroc is interested in associate ST membership.

EK would be good choice.
Since 3 carriers' members among SKYTEAM can collect miles with EK flights.
DL, CO and KE.

I am not 100% sure but...
KE has just started BKK/Nairobi code share service (3 times a week)
with KQ since April 20.
KQ231/KE5961 BKK/Nairobi & KQ230/KE5962 Nairobi/BKK.
This will allow Asian Skyteam members to have better access to Africa.
KQ also has relationship with NW.
Hope KQ joins Skyteam soon.
