Title:
  Cape Town (and most of ZA) is hard to select, as JHB is surrounded by
  other capitals

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: tzdata

  Ubuntu 10.10 and all before.
  Version Installed: 2010l-1

  When installing Ubuntu 10.10beta "Maverick", it is very difficult to
  click on Johannesburg as it is very near to Maseru, Maputo, Gaborone
  and Mbabane. There is also no country boundaries or dots for cities on
  the map. In Ubuntu-netbook, one can search for a city, but "Cape Town"
  does not return any results. Why Johannesburg? It is not even the
  capital of South Africa.

  What should happen: "Africa/Cape Town" should be added as a possible
  location to click on or to search for. People that are new to Ubuntu
  might not know that Johannesburg is the timezone and location to
  choose when in South Africa (Harare/Pretoria is the Windows one.). It
  is also rather difficult to find the exact spot on the map to click to
  choose Johannesburg, and the mouse pointer's tip is almost as big as
  the space between Gaborone and Johannesburg.
