Africa was born in Johannesburg and attended Hilton College.[1] He represented the South African under-19 team at the 2004 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, and took eight wickets from six matches. In his team's narrow one-wicket loss to Nepal, he scored 52 not out from ninth in the batting order, and then took 3/36 from ten overs opening the bowling.[2] Africa made his first-class debut for KwaZulu-Natal in October 2004, and his limited overs debut just over a week later. He made semi-regular appearances over the following three seasons, and played his last game in November 2007.[3][4] In total, Africa took 41 wickets from 19 first-class matches and 24 wickets from 22 limited-overs matches.[1] His best figures for KwaZulu-Natal, 5/23 from 16 overs, came in the second innings of a Three-Day Challenge game against Border in January 2007.[5]
