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

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.
Confirmed. Will need to forwarded upstream.
