Seems like that's the problem. As far as I know, there are no South African servers :-/

Probably not unless you can find somebody in South Africa to set up a server.

Or you could move to Europe or America but I doubt you want to play this game that bad.
I had a 33k modem and I played my first 2 years with it. My ping was 300+ but atleast i got something good from it - my name ;)
You can try to keep playing, low ping isn't that important. (Even with high ping you can camp and line =D)
