Aborigines used wombats primarily for food. Their hair and hide would also be used: hair was woven into string and string bags, which would be used for fishing nets, tying tool parts together (e.g. tying a spearhead to a spear) and decoration, while the hide could be used for carry bags or, in cooler areas, clothing.
Yes. Wombats were a source of food for the Aborigines.
Yes. Wombats were favoured food as they were slow and easily captured, and they had plenty of meat.
Apart from human intrusion into their environment, their only natural predator is the dingo, but introduced species like dogs, cats and foxes can also hunt them for food. Aborigines also hunted wombats for food.
Wombats have few natural predators. The wombat's main predator is the dingo, but introduced species like dogs, cats and foxes can also hunt them for food. Young wombats which are still vulnerable and only just emerging from the pouch may be taken by birds of prey such as wedge-tailed eagles. In Tasmania, Australia's southern state, Tasmanian devils will prey on smaller wombats, and they have been known to feed off the carcass of a wombat. Aborigines also hunted wombats for food.
Native Australians are referred to as aborigines.

No, there are no wombats in Africa. Wombats are native to Australia alone.

Like a great many mammal species, wombats use their faeces to mark their territory. Wombats produce cube shaped "scats" because of the type of food eaten by wombats and their fairly slow metabolism. Wombats leave scats to mark their territory atop rocks and logs, and cube shaped scats are less likely to roll away from the wombat's territory.
No. Wombats are not related to rats at all. Wombats are not rodents, but marsupials.
