Oh, oh, oh Cartoon Network
Last month, there was a string of announcements regarding Cartoonito one of which included it's return to Boomerang with Cartoon Network serving as an additional home making it a double whammy.
The reasons for Cartoon Network is justified as stated last year they want to create content that resonates with preschoolers, families and girls so the idea of Cartoonito surfacing on Cartoon Network as doesn't seem far fetched.

- 2022 on Disney+ ahead of launch in South Africa
Most markets already package the brand on the channel other than that the originals are being produced by CN Studios. On the bright side it doesn't get as much time as seen in the United States you usually get an hour or two of preschool as the rest is on Boomerang.

Likelihood is that the same will occur in Africa which is probably for the best as Boomerang has been labelled as a premium tier in some regions while the other has to do with CN's focus on Teen Titans GO!.
Cartoonito returns but as what exactly?
In Europe, the region in which Boomerang currently available to African viewers reside have all announced the return or launch of Cartoonito with no update as to when the refurbished preschool brand will return (my guess March or April).
Since last year, viewers have been worried about the abrupt ending to Boomerang as seen in Latin America where the channel was folded under Cartoonito but as seen in these changes. There's still a chance for all of that to change...for now.
Cartoonito is expected to launch in some parts of Europe and the likelihood is whatever preschool content Boomerang managed to pick up or is currently airing will move to Cartoonito and WarnerMedia will shift attention away from the brand as HBO Max rolls out in the market.
If I had to guess, the brand will likely dissolve by 2023.
