Three mirrors (that I know of):

http://ftp.sun.ac.za/ftp/pub/mirrors/www.sagemath.org/
http://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za/pub/packages/sage/
http://sagemath.polytechnic.edu.na/

One SAGE course and a few courses using SAGE:

At www.aims.ac.za, which is now in its 7th year of the main postgraduate
diploma programme, we have traditionally taught scipy (early on octave
and maxima). SAGE has been used on and off for 3 years and this year
there was a course called "Experimental Maths" in using SAGE. 

I will in future again invite lecturers to visit Cape Town, South Africa,
to teach SAGE or a mathematical topic using SAGE for three weeks:
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-edu/browse_thread/thread/a82fd6e3f0489dfc
Interested lecturers are welcome to contact me.

I am constantly propoganda-ising SAGE here. 
Perhaps one day we can even host a SAGE day at AIMS. 
If organized in advance AIMS may provide a great venue
for computing/mathematics workshops each year in July/August.

regards,
Jan
