The rocket does not need to be African in origin, and the launch can be in collaboration with a non-African space agency or company. The key point is that the rocket needs to launch from an African country and reach orbit.
*please note that the question excludes historic launches from Algeria and Kenya

@JoshuaWilkes Numerous other countries besides Algeria and Kenya have seen orbital launches earlier this century and so the question as phrased should already resolve YES.
@JoshuaWilkes are there other ways the question is incomplete? Do you think it wasn't written clearly?
