No flying experience is bad experience... but as you know African flying is very different to flying here.
If I were in your 'velt skoene' I would get any job in the UK/Europe albeit glider towing, taxi, instructor, whatever... just to show that you can us a radio and nav with plenty of controlled airspace about! ... Then you will be a know quantity to the employers AND have all the hands on skills that Afrika gives.
Good luck.
