It seems likely that the whole continent might have been hit by EMP. The West African oil infrastructure is an obvious target for both/either side. To my knowledge, there hasn't been an African strike list published. However, the Soviets would have a keen interest in denying African minerals and petroleum to the West. It's hard to know how badly South Africa got hit, but it's highly unlikely that the Soviets would be willing to forget decades of frustration at the hands of the South Africans. The West, in return, would hit Soviet clients as payback. A handful of nukes, coupled with the disruption of EMP, would upend the already tenuous social contract in many parts of Subsaharan Africa.
