Dear Ballies
We are the Bit Ballies,
https://bitcoin.org/en/
here to show you how to purchase your first "Bitcoin", the decentralized cryptocurrency in South Africa, safely and securely with your South African rands via the luno.com Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) and bitcoin purchasing service.
We will also provide you with everything "you need to know".
Luno.com is like forex (foreign exchange) in South Africa (https://tradeforexsa.co.za/)
Instead of a physical building and a broker you have a digital website and you make the transaction (same as an EFT)
Luno is a company based in Singapore, they provide a cryptocurrency exchange service to Nigeria and South Africa among many other countries, fees are also provided below:
if you check it out, they accept South African Rands (ZAR) for credit via their website and then you purchase bitcoin via their Mobile app via the EFT service they provide, they charge a fee for this but we can buy and sell the exact amount we want.
You don't have to buy a whole bitcoin you can by a fraction of a bitcoin, currently 0.0001 bitcoin = R7.65
We can explore the market at a later date:
