Have you tried AFNOG ?

They have a mailing list

The AfNOG mailing list is established to provide a forum for the
exchange of technical information and the discussion of specific
implementation issues that require cooperation among African network
service providers.
To subscribe, send an email message to majordomo@afnog.org with
