Koffee,

Check out Nelson Vails, black sprinter nicknamed the
cheetah rode in the 80's.

To be brutally frank, I believe that the issue is economic
in Southern Africa. I don't think alot of black south africans
can afford either a race quality bike, or the time required
to train towards elite levels. And RSA is the most prosperous
of the sub saharan countries.

As for the U.S. or Europe, I'm not sure. I have a feeling it
has to do with exposure (at least here in the US) but I'm
nowhere near qualified to speak about this one.
