Technically speaking, Ramses II and Hannibal Barca were the greatest empire-builders in Africa. However, that's a cop-out. Egypt under Ramses was really more of a Mesopotamian nation than an African nation, having more in common with their Middle-Eastern neighbors than their African ones. Hannibal Barca was a General of the North African city of Carthage, and they fought Rome not once, not twice, but three times before they went down. They also controlled Sicily and Spain for quite a while, in addition to their North African coastline. But again, they were more of a Mediterranean power than an African one.
The answer you're probably looking for, is Shaka Zulu. Shaka Zulu united the Zulu tribes, and revolutionized their warfare forever. During his brief reign, he spread havoc in the minds of European colonials. While his empire didn't really outlast him and it wasn't as large as some of the ancient middle African empires, his was the most effective rule and no other African ruler left such a mark on Africa's psyche than he did. If he was given a more modern army and proper resources, he'd probably have taken all of South Africa and maybe even more...
