One way of transferring funds to anyone anywhere would be to send a 'quasi cash' payment by Paypal (you would both need to have an account). I've done this a couple of times to my brother in Mallorca and I seem to remember there were NO fess whatsoever (I'd check this, as I may have been drunk at the time...), and it's instantaneous of course. Simply transfer funds from your UK bank account to Paypal and then straight to your SA bank account. Alternatively you could make a credit card transfer to your Paypal account and then transfer it to your SA account. Read more at http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/ema/ind
