Does he have a wireless modem? If so, then all he needs do is find a hotspot, eg from this list

If not, then I recall buying a CD from a petrol station in SA that bought me metered access to a service provider through the phone lines.
I cant recall what telephone sockets they have in SA, or whether his modem cable should be OK withouth an adapter, but have a good look for a converter for the power plug. These arent always easy to find, and I recall searching heathrow in vain for one a few years back. SA uses a three round pin plug of an unusual size.
