One-third of all indigenous inhabitants of Sub-Saharan Africa carry the gene, because in areas where on earth malaria is common, there is a survival value within carrying only a single sickle-cell gene (sickle cell trait). Those with only one of the two alleles of the sickle-cell disease are more resistant to malaria, since the infestation of the malaria plasmodium is halt by the sickling of the cells which it infests.
