Southern Africa seems to be the wealthier region.

Mauritius was the richest (per capita) that I saw in a list at the CIA
World Factbook with a GDP per capita of $11,400.

Mauritius has a 42% literacy rate, but finding their official
education is much harder to do.  This is the website for Mauritius at
the Factbook, and you can use the dropdown menu at the top to go to
any other country in Africa (or the world).  Lots of good info to be
read.

South Africa would have been my guess for having the wealthiest people
in Africa, but they rank slightly below Mauritius with a GDP per
capita of $10,700.
It's interesting to note that South Africa's literacy rate is 86.4%,
much higher than Mauritius'.
