She is Camponotus, and a smaller genus for sure. The gaster reminds me of Camponotus nearcticus.
Hit "Like This" if it helped.

Looks like a myrmentoma subgenus Camponotus species

I would definitely say Camponotus. Maybe Camponotus pennsylvanicus? Do those even live there?

Camponotus pennsylvanicus are not native in habitats in Africa. They are strictly located in North America.
