The World Health Organization (WHO) certifies countries as malaria-free if have three consecutive years with zero indigenous cases.

In early 2024, the WHO certified Cape Verde as malaria free, the first sub-Saharan African country to obtain this status in over 50 years (BBC).

Will another country in sub-Saharan Africa be certified by the WHO as being malaria free before 2030?

Sub-Saharan Africa is defined as Africa excluding North Africa, but including Sudan (i.e. every country in any shade of green on Wikipedia's page for sub-Saharan Africa).
