Its currently carrying 3 African channels on the European beam

ORTM from Mali
2STV & RTS 1 from Senegal.

Virtually any satellite receiver (not a sky digibox) will give you these channels, and a 60-80cm dish should do fine.

soa any receiver but sky didgibox and a dish, would i need a special card or would i be able to install it myself

The 3 channels are transmitted in the clear, so no cards required

Yes theres no reason why you cant install it yourself if you are reasonably handy at DIY.

HOWEVER, if you are a DIY disaster area then leave it to the professionals!
