No, I expect Africa population growth to decline faster than predicted due to cultural and technological changes. There is a trickle down effect in standard of living as technology improves. Our homeless have cell phones, for instance. As Africans increasingly connect with the outside world, their culture and values will change.
Of course, I'm mindful of your prediction of decreasing per-capita wealth/resources, and that would depress the effects of change, so there's still risk of a slowing or halting of development in poor countries.
