Does it work that way with Africans as well as Europeans ? I know there was talk that because of Brexit South America would have to be the new hunting ground for talent.

Yeah, works for every country the same (apart from Ireland). The new rules rely around a player having played games in a good league, in a continental competition, and for their country (U21 or senior).
South America is a good hunting ground for this because the players all play lots of games for their club, and in the Copa America, and also any sort of U21 cap usually gets them over the line to qualify.

There is also an appeals process if a WP fails.

If a player fails to meet the above FA requirements for automatic endorsement, the football club can appeal under the FA appeals process to the Exceptions Panel. The criteria for the Exceptions Panel is split into ‘Objective Criteria’ and ‘Subjective Criteria’. Objective Criteria The Objective criteria are split further into two parts as demonstrated in the tables below. Players need 4 or more points from Part A or 5 or more from Parts A and B together. The panel will not duplicate points across Part A and B and granting endorsement is always subject to the panel’s discretion even if points are met.

I'd imagine appeals from clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona are more successful than from clubs like Town, Preston, etc.
