I think it's mostly a function of population. The most populated parts of Sub-Saharan Africa are the Western and Eastern bits. And South Africa excepted, the more populous parts of the south are mostly former-Portuguese and French/Belgian colonies, so that's where most of their emigration is directed.
South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola are also generally the most prosperous African countries, if I'm not mistaken. Though I'm not sure that's enough to prevent much out-migration.
