South Africa probably has better wireless coverage than the US. It would have to be an AT&T Kindle that works on GSM/3G. Although there is one CDMA provider here, I don't think you can roam with them. So if he's got a US Kindle 2, I think he's out of luck. If it is a Kindle 3 or international Kindle 2 then it will work on at least 3 of the networks here. Kindle 3 has Wifi too which would make this something of a moot point.

Your brother might have to contact Amazon to let them know he's going to be travelling in South Africa if he doesn't want to pay the $2 delivery fee.
