Earthquakes to a large size do not "occur" on the African continent due to there being no plate boundries running through it. This is as a result of earthquakes resulting from two plate boundries colliding, causing tension which is soon released; an earthquake. However earthquakes of smaller sizes can be seen distrubuted in Africa, especially the Eastern side.
It would be impossible to say how often they take place due to earthquakes being totally unpredictable but ones of any size to comment on happen maybe a few times a year whereas smaller ones that are only picked up my seismographs can be number in their hundreds or thousands.

Has there ever been earthquake in Vietnam?
Yes, Vietnam is located in a seismically active zone and has experienced earthquakes in the past. The country lies on the boundaries of several tectonic plates, making it prone to seismic activity. While most earthquakes in Vietnam are relatively small and not widely felt, there have been larger earthquakes in the past, particularly in the northern and central regions of the country.
