I don't think you need WHOIS privacy protection for dotAfrica domain.
Why? - look at the output of a whois for my own posix.africa..
I've removed Redacted and some other noise lines.

What is displayed is Nameservers, the Registrant Organisation and
location of the organisation. If that's too much for you - then ask your
Registrar or reseller to put in their information for those fields. As
long as its your name and e-mail address as Registrant - the domain is
under your control.
What I see for alex.africa is:-
Registrant Organization: N A
Registrant State/Province: South Africa
Registrant Country: ZA
... and even there I have a feeling alex.africa is not in South Africa?

Dear All,
I was curious about how ICANN’s new privacy/GDPR guidelines are
filtering down to .Africa?
I am renewing domains (.Africas), and decided I don’t want to or need
to buy WHOIS privacy protection.
Am I safe in this assumption?
Are there any ICANN wonks who can advise?
I am referring to the following specs:

Best,
Alex
