I think it's a valid point. If one were from South Africa he could speak of going "back to Africa" meaning the continent or the country. "South" could be implied if not spoken.
That might be the case if he were speaking to someone from South Africa, but in speaking to just anyone, he'd most likely name the country, not the continent.
