Also, once the Russians nuke China to hell whatever remnants of the PRC government (if they even exist) will have far more pressing matters to attend to than trying to maintain even a scant presence in Africa.
I've seen a lot of people talk about South Africa in the Twilight War as being apartheid South Africa, but to me it is far more interesting to think how South Africa would be like during the Twilight War if it was being run by Nelson Mandela and the ANC. Here you have a man who has spent his whole life fighting for democracy against a racist dictatorship, and once he has finally succeeded the whole world goes to hell. In this scenario S. Africa may very well be the one shining beacon of civilization in Africa, a sort of an African France if you will.
