Did some digging on the term "Afer" and it means what you say.

The Latin word originally was used only in reference to the region around modern Tunisia; it gradually was extended to the whole continent. Derivation from a Phoenician cognate of Arabic afar "dust, earth" is tempting. The Middle English word was Affrike.[/QUOTE] http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=Afer However your source doesn't seem to be referencing Hannibal. Do you got one that references him being called an Afer?
