No, because Africa is the name of the continent. America is not the name of our continent, rather NORTH America, seeing as there are two of them. But there is no "North Africa" in Africa. Not to mention America is much more of an influence in the world, so it doenst matter what you refer to it. An the other hand, no one gives a **** about "South Africa", and when people hear Africa, they think the continent. The Continent itself is way too diverse in culture to just be calling the entire thing the same.
