I do know that the South Africa Post Office is in the progress of
setting up a CA. They have their Certificate in MicroSoft products - but
not in anything else yet (to my understanding).
Their proposed pricing is reasonable (in my comparison with
StartSSL/StartCOM with whom I like to work with). I've met with the
people involved and find them reasonably knowledgeable.
