You may want to start searching for second hand stores.
Ask the locals. South Africa may be one of the places where poverty did not bring tools into the area.
Is shipping from the U.S., England or Australia out of the question?
I recall this thread and thought you would be taking tools with you.
A few saws and a few planes should get you set up well.
If there are any material suppliers for metals, you could possibly make your own tools and work with any locals who are interested to do the same.
Make a few saws and then some Krenov type planes.
