Donatism Survives as Separate Christian Sect

So, a question:

How do we create a world in which the Christian schismatic sect known as Donatism survives to the present day in North Africa?

Get rid of St. Augustine of Hippo? No Byzantine invasion of North Africa? No Muslim invasion?

Resources are sketchy about when Donatism stopped existing, but surely after the Muslim takeover it ended.

What would the world look like with a Donatist North Africa? Would the evangelize? Where? How does this affect the other Xian churches?

Getting rid of Augustine would help Donatism but it would have other effects as well with a better than 50/50 chance that the Church will tolerate SemiPelagianism

You will want to explain to us the differences between Augustinian Trinitarian Christianity and Donatism and what that could mean politically. I'm not too clear on the theological differences myself.
I think that the Muslims would still invade. Is there any reason why Donatism would be more resistant over time to the attractions of Islam (given that conversion to Islam and nonpayment of the jizya can at different times mean the difference between prosperity and ruin or even starvation) than Augustinian Christianity to North Africans? And could Donatist missionaries make it into West Africa?
