If we add a zero to each of your figures, change "Sub-Saharan-Africans" to "South Africans", 'North Africa' to "West/Central Africa", and then get rid of the bits about "Black Africans not existing in significant numbers" and about white Europeans, this would have some relation to reality. It also depends on how much was an expansion of a culture, and how much was a migration of people. What you're groping for, with hopelessly wrong figures, is:

You have to distinguish between today Sub-Saharan-Africans and Africans that lived in North Africa. The Black Africans did not exist (in significant numbers) 1000 years ago. Africa was populated by Bushmen, Pigmeys and other tribes that were genicided by the Black Africans in recent times. There were no Black Africans in South Africa 300 years ago, white Europeans are de facto more indigenous to this region, than Black Africans, who spread to this region about 100 years ago.

The Bantu expansion is the name for a postulated millennia-long series of migrations of speakers of the original proto-Bantu language group. The primary evidence for this expansion has been linguistic, namely that the languages spoken in Sub-Equatorial Africa are remarkably similar to each other. Attempts to trace the exact route of the expansion, to correlate it with archaeological evidence and genetic evidence, have not been conclusive; thus many aspects of the expansion remain in doubt or are highly contested. The Bantu traveled in two waves, the first across the Congo forest region.
The linguistic core of the Bantu family of languages, a branch of the Niger–Congo language family, was located in the adjoining region of Cameroon and Nigeria. From this core, expansion began about 3,000 years ago, with one stream going into East Africa, and other streams going south along the African coast of Gabon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Angola, or inland along the many south-to-north flowing rivers of the Congo River system. The expansion eventually reached South Africa, probably as early as AD 300.
