LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
- ----------------------

For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Morgan Stanley Africa Investment
Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") had a total return, based on net asset value per share,
of 19.72% compared to 13.77% for the Fleming Africa Index including South Africa
(the "Index").  For the one year ended March 31, 1998, and for the period since
the Fund's commencement of operations on February 14, 1994 through March 31,
1998, the Fund's total return, based on net asset value per share, was 2.11% and
80.87%, respectively, compared to -7.38% and 56.91%, respectively, for the
Index.  On March 31, 1998, the closing price of the Fund's shares on the New
York Stock Exchange was $14 3/16  , representing a 18.0% discount to the Fund's
net asset value per share.

The Fund's strong performance during the first quarter was as a result of being
overweight in Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Botswana and from good stock selection in
South Africa, Egypt and Mauritius.

SOUTH AFRICA

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) Overall Index appreciated by 18.0% during
the first quarter ended March 31, 1998.  The beginning of corporate
restructuring, focused primarily in the financial services industry, provided
the catalyst for the market to appreciate aggressively during the quarter.  As a
consequence, the JSE financial index increased by 34% during the quarter.
Further fuelling the market was anticipation of lower interest rates as a result
of a continued downward trend in inflation with CPI and PPI falling to 5.4% and
2.5%, respectively.

The government continues to provide macro economic stability by reducing the
fiscal deficit for 1997/98 to 4.1% from 5.1% in the prior year.  Monetary policy
remains restrictive with real rates still in the 8% range.  We continue to
expect the Reserve Bank to cut interest rates by 2% during the course of the
year to stimulate economic growth in a low inflation environment.  A further
stimulant to growth will be provided by the demutualization of Sanlam in the
second half of 1998 and Old Mutual in 1999, the nation's largest life insurers. 
This process will provide a one-off increase in individuals' disposable income
and should benefit the consumer and durable sectors of the economy.

We expect South Africa to sustain its performance for the remainder of 1998 as
corporate restructuring/refocusing gathers momentum across all sectors of the
economy and, corporate management pursue and implement policies that make their
businesses more globally competitive.

GHANA

Ghana was the best performing market in Africa and across all emerging markets
during the first quarter of 1998.  The Databank Index appreciated by 59.5%
during the quarter.  As mentioned in our 1997 annual report, Ghana was one of
the most attractive markets in Africa based on fundamental valuation.  The Fund
was ideally positioned to benefit from this re-rating, holding a 6.5% weighting
in Ghana at the beginning of 1998.  Some of the Fund's holdings such as Social
Security Bank and Home Finance more than doubled in value during the quarter. 

The market remains attractively valued in-spite of the recent run-up.  We
estimate the market's forward rating (excluding Ashanti Gold) is 6.1 times with
real earnings growth of 15% to December 31, 1998.

EGYPT

The EFG index fell by 2.2% during the first quarter, reacting to downward
revisions in economic expectations resulting from the Luxor massacre in 1997. 
Tourism-related investment, however, did not fall significantly, and the number
of foreign visitors to the country, though down 35%, dropped less than
previously thought. Other parts of the economy also appear to be surprisingly
resilient with the construction and consumer sectors still expanding at a
healthy pace.  The main economic indicators continue their improving trends,
with inflation inching lower and likely to end around 4% this year, interest
rates stable and the current account and fiscal deficits in check.

We continue to be constructive on the Egyptian market, as valuations are
moderate and growth prospects robust.  We look for stronger confidence in the
market as solid economic figures are posted in the face of the Luxor scare and
the market is forced to revise its expectations higher.  Our emphasis is on
construction, infrastructure and consumer sector plays.

ZIMBABWE

Zimbabwe rebounded strongly in the first quarter, with the Flemings Zimbabwe
All-Share Index jumping 44%, aided by the currency recovering some of the ground
lost in the devaluation of 1997.  The Zimbabwe dollar stabilized at an exchange
rate of Z$16.2 against the U.S. dollar from a low of Z$19.25 in January, as
investors reacted to the government's temporary capitulation on the land
acquisition issue and an impending IMF accord.  The final resolution of these
issues is still the critical event that will drive the market going forward.


                                          2
<PAGE>

Inflation and interest rates have moved sharply higher as a result of the
currency devaluation.  Core CPI figures for 1998 are expected to increase to 35%
and local money market rates have moved to reflect the new reality.  GDP growth
should be 3.0% this year, down from 3.5% in 1997, a figure impacted by low
tobacco prices, a major foreign exchange earner for the country.  On the
sociopolitical front, protests have broken out over the current economic
situation, sparking debate about the ability of the current government to
effectively address the critical issues and eroding its support base.

REST OF AFRICA

The Fund holds approximately 20% of its investments outside the above-mentioned
countries.  In Mauritius, the most significant of these holdings, the SEMDEX
Index appreciated by 2.8% in the first quarter.  Corporate restructuring
activity lifted the market at the end of the quarter, erasing losses created by
fears of competitive pressures from Asia on the nation's all-important textile
trade.  Botswana also rose during the quarter, on the back of strong corporate
results, a smooth political transition and stability in the economic front. 
Both of these markets, we believe, merit overweights as price-to-earnings
valuations are only 12.1 times and 10.7 times, respectively, and EPS growth
remains solid.

Sincerely,

/s/ Michael F. Klein

     each period, and assumes dividends and distributions, if any, were
     reinvested. These percentages are not an indication of the performance of a
     shareholder's investment in the Fund based on market value due to
     differences between the market price of the stock and the net asset value
