Africa is full of failed states so any data about it would need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Here are things that can alter rates of transmission: 1) genes. Are Africans asymptomatic less often? 2) vaccination rates..again are they asymptomatic less often? 3) percent of population in rural versus urban environment 4) amount of travel 5) reliability of diagnoses and records 6) how much contact occurs between people for cultural reasons 7) availability of medicine 8) death rates for conditions other than covid (if u die of malaria you can't also die of covid) 9) weather (flu more dangerous in colder climes)
Probably other things I did not take note of.
I can imagine all of these things being a factor more or less. I wouldn't focus on merely one cause
