[Question] Currency exchange from AUD to South African Rand?

Hi fellow Aussie Redditors!

I need advice.

I am flying to Cape Town (South Africa) in a month and I am trying to figure out the best way to change money.

option 1) Travel money card issued from bank [CBA in my case]. This one looks like it's got some nasty fees (because South Africa is not listed as one of their currency-loading countries)

option 2) change AUD cash into ZAR cash - which is probably the worst idea - because those currency converters take such a big cut.

option 3) Travelex Travel Money Card. This one also has some hefty conversion fees and transaction fees.

I am lost. Has anyone gone from Australia to South Africa before/recently? Any advice?

So my previous tweet - a simple statement of fact has been described in the media as “lashing out” (the Oz) or as a “public rebuke” (SMH). Neither characterisation is reasonable, but is objective reporting unadorned by sensationalism a thing of the past?

A few facts. @ScottMorrisonMP asked me to discuss trade and the embassy issue in Bali and we had a call before I left to confirm his messages which I duly relayed to @jokowi There was a detailed paper on the issue in my official brief as well. - Malcolm Turnbull on Twitter
