Where can I get physical CDs of Ubuntu if I live in a place with limited internet connectivity?

Question

I am based in Durban, South Africa and would like to get a copy of the operating system but do not have an internet connection. Can someone nearby help me make a CD copy?

Why don't you try and get in contact with the South Africa LoCo team

http://ubuntu-za.org/

or subscribe to their mailing list

They have a couple of release parties set up, I'd expect you could get a CD there
