The site refered to by the first poster is right. If when you say Africa, you include North Africa, then there were indeed white slaves. In fact, the very word "slave" derives from the Latin word "sclavus." That Latin word originally meant "slav," but began the word for "slave" because so many enslaved people were slavic.
(That should cheer up the guy with the swastika, since Hitler wanted to enslave the slavs--but slavic people sure look white to me.)
If by Africa you only mean, sub-saharan Africa, I dn't know of any large number of caucasion slaves there.

Most white slaves were known as indentured servants.
