That's a classic 419 scam - named after that section in the Nigerian Penal code. The south African Police have a special division that deals with them. It has nothing to do with the "African Bank".
The only one I know is the African Development Bank and as far as i know it is very legit.

This is a scam and it has been on many news shows in the US and Canada. Don't fall for it. You will be losing your money and your credit rating.
Africans even made up a rap song about taking the white mans money and laughing about it. It was also on the news reports. So if I were you, I would ignore the solicitation.
