http://www.afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/1625-soft-landing-bis-draft-02- <http://www.afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/1625-soft-landing-bis-draft-02-> section 3.8

======
LIR and End users requesting IPv4 must have IPv6 resources from AFRINIC (or request concomitantly with the IPv4) or from their upstreams.
=====


And IPv6 allocation policy said :
======
6.1. Initial allocation

6.1.1. Initial allocation criteria

To qualify for an initial allocation of IPv6 address space, an organization must:

a) be an LIR;

b) not be an end site;

c) show a detailed plan to provide IPv6 connectivity to organizations in the AFRINIC region.

d) show a reasonable plan for making /48 IPv6 assignments to end sites in the AFRINIC region within twelve months.

6.1.2. Initial allocation size

Organizations that meet the initial allocation criteria are eligible to receive a minimum allocation of /32.

Organizations may qualify for an initial allocation greater than /32 by submitting documentation that reasonably justifies the request. If so, the allocation size will be based on the number of existing users and the extent of the organization's infrastructure.

=======

Hope we read the criteria for end-sites assignment at:  http://www.afrinic.net/en/library/policies/132-afpub-2007-v6-001 <http://www.afrinic.net/en/library/policies/132-afpub-2007-v6-001>


Send a request for v6, meet the criteria and get v6 allocation/assignment before you qualify to get v4 from the  last /8
