Much like how flour is used in gravy, cornflour is a thickener. If the cornflour is omitted from the recipe, the pie filling will come out with a somewhat soupy texture.

What is a substitute for cornflour in an African milk tart?

There is no good substitute for cornflour - any substitution will significantly alter the texture of the tart filling. Cornflour is used to set the filling smoothly - you could add a couple of egg yolks to the filling as a replacement. But the result will be different. Plain flour will not give a pleasant result as a substitute - the filling will taste floury.

Why do you put eggs in a lemon meringue filling?

The egg yolks provide the only fat in the filling, which is necessary for texture. Also, the egg yolks help thicken and bind the filling in recipes not calling for cornstarch or another starch. Without them, the filling would taste like a lemon gel, not a smooth custard, which is what the filling is and a custard, by definition, requires eggs or egg yolks.
