Trying to add arn:aws:lambda:af-south-1:175033217214:layer:graphicsmagick:2 results:

Resource handler returned message: "User:

I don't think that error has anything to do with it "not being available in Africa"... I suspect your user just doesn't have the requisite permissions.

Confirmed - I just successfully uploaded the layer to af-south-1

My user has AdministratorAccess If I try from the aws cli: aws lambda get-layer-version --layer-name arn:aws:lambda:af-south-1:175033217214:layer:graphicsmagick --version-number 2 --region af-south-1

An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the GetLayerVersion operation: User: arn:aws:iam::718974227478:user/jojo786 is not authorized to perform: lambda:GetLayerVersion on resource: arn:aws:lambda:af-south-1:175033217214:layer:graphicsmagick:2 because no resource-based policy allows the lambda:GetLayerVersion action

Tried with versions 1 and 3 as well.

But using us-east-1 (or other regions except af-south-1), with version 1 and 2, works as expected: aws lambda get-layer-version --layer-name arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:175033217214:layer:graphicsmagick --version-number 2 --region us-east-1
