How comfortable are you at registry hacks. There is a way to add the
AfriNIC whois server to Sam Spade. When I use Sam Spade, I get this:

| 11/04/05 06:46:27 whois 165.165.224.108@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
| whois -h whois.afrinic.net 165.165.224.108 ...
| % This is the AfriNIC Whois server.
|
| inetnum: 165.165.0.0 - 165.165.255.255
| netname: IPNET-ADSL
| descr: Telkom
| descr: Soekor Building
| descr: 151 Frans Conradie Ave
| descr: Parow
| descr: Western Cape
| descr: 7500
| org: org-TSL4-AFRINIC
| country: ZA
| admin-c: PB455-AFRINIC
| tech-c: JDU24-AFRINIC
| status: ASSIGNED PI

....and more; the whole output is pretty long.

Here are some modifications I find useful for Sam Spade:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
