No iTunes Ping for South Africans

| apple-command |

I’m pretty disappointed by the fact that South Africans can’t fully partake in the full Apple experience. I’ve just downloaded iTunes 10 and Ping is visibly absent. I tried signing in with a US-based account, to no avail. A connection error comes up & iTunes freezes. So once again, we lose out on Ping, the new Apple TV and the movies, music and all the apps that the iTunes store has to offer. 

Is this a problem on our government’s side, or with the relevant music and movie industries or does the problem lie with Apple?
