The dark transverse band on thorax disagrees. This suggests putoria. That said, I am not 100 % sure this is Chrysomyia, given the projecting mouth margin. I would suggest to investigate Cochliomyia as well.

Which species of Cochliomyia are in Africa? This fly is not C. macellaria or C. hominivorax, which have longitudinal stripes on the thorax. I do not know about the other species.
