How many of the last round of gTLDs are really successful? Have any of them
met the targets anticipated when they applied?

That all depends on what your market and objectives are.

If the goal is to sell as many domains as possible without regard for
consequences to the public and to entities providing goods and services on
the Internet, the field is never saturated and there's always room for more
sales.

If, OTOH, your goal is actually growing the use and prosperity of African
consumers and businesses using the Internet, your perspective is very
different.
