Sure... but ARIN and APNIC don't allow an inbound transfer to an out-of-region recipient. If you are an ISP operating exclusively in Africa, you can't transfer space into ARIN or APNIC or be a transfer recipient of any kind in those RIRs. You have to have some amount of operations in region to qualify as a transfer recipient there.
