It looks like you have removed them from the zone apex, but you  
haven't had them removed from the NET zone. You should contact GANDI  
and change the set of nameservers for AFRINIC.NET appropriately.

(List cc'd since this is a common error, and we might as well make a  
learning exercise out of your particular problem.)
