If you sold the domain, it is now the new owner's problem. If you knew prior that the domain was trademarked and did not disclose this to the buyer, then the buyer might have some recourse depending on what the written agreement says that he signed when you sold if there was one.
This of course assumes the company in Africa is pursuing the rights to the trademark legally.
A lot of things depend on the legal jurisdiction you are in also.
Where are you? Where was the domain registered prior? Where is the new owner based?
What exactly are they demanding? That you rescind your deal with the new buyer and get the name back and transfer it to them?
If you provide more details, you'll have a better chance of getting more answers.
