May be:

"AfriNIC Staff will use any communication tools at their discretion to 
contact those who have not answered or those whose email has bounced back."
There are several issues.
1- (Legal please help). In most African countries' legal frameworks, 
there is no provision about email. The consequence is that some people 
in ORGs tell you to call, to send them a fax or a mail for them to take 
action.
2- There are some entities that haven't update their phone and fax 
records after a major telecom infrastructure change, adding one or two 
digits to the phone system, in the country. So Phone and Fax may not 
work too.
