I'm not certain, but I would assume it would be cheaper there. You could contact the Capetown HU community and ask someone who lives there.

I dont know what the rules are there but in the UK Malarone is a 'prescription only' drug so you might have problems getting it.

I'd take some with you.

Hi, OK it´s not SA but I just bought malerone in Namibia. It´s available over the counter and cost 530 Namibian Dollars for a strip of 12. That´s 60ish US. Guess it would be a similar price in SA.
Hope that helps
Cheers
Richard
