Those entire African postcode, administrative and topographic maps (in WGS84) are solely produced by GfK GeoMarketing. The African postcode and administrative maps should include recent, up-to-date information about the ever-changing African postal and administrative boundaries while the African topographic maps should include the latest population figures and other topographic features. Those maps are available in .shp (ArcGIS), .mid, .mif (MapInfo), .lay (RegioGraph), .gdb (GeoDatabase) and Oracle. No free map samples are available as of time of writing but 2 .tif files have been provided. Feel free to take a look.
