I'm not sure this counts from your perspective as a use in the global south, but I'm from N America, but I live in Zambia. I used BTC about 15 minutes ago to move some frunds tonpay rent because I've been having trouble with other systems.

Is bitcoin usage widespread in africa?
Not where I am. It is used for sure, but I wouldn't say it is widespread. I personally know folks that use it for remittance, as a investment/inflatiom hedge, and recieving payment for songs and the like on apps like wavelake. So I know of plenty of examples where it is used bit your average person on the street doesn't use it.
