5. His wand had broken in Johannesburg, shattered by the strain of adapting to Africa and the chaos of her magic. African magic was alive in a way that Ron had never experienced in his old life and he had been more then happy to lose himself in the ebbs and swirls of this new world.

All questions will be answered and if they're not then I'll just have to answer them privately. Or maybe with the prequel that is starting to nibble at the edges of my head. But you didn't hear me say that. =D
One of my absolute favorite thing about this story is how it's made me think about what magic must be like in various parts of the world and how it's completely different from the magic that they teach at Hogwarts. So, yes, he's been doing magic without a wand.
And Hermione is still alive.
