Friends of mine bought Honda CRF250L me in J' burg. They were as @ little over $3000 each I believe. The dealer details etc were posted on this forum about Jan - do a search and you should find them. Nor they had a few challenges getting the TRN you need to do the registration. Johannesburg motor registry refused them insisting they would only give them to purple with 6 month work visa, Cape Town was more accommodating and did it with a 3 month tourist visa. Your best source of up to date advice on this is Duncan at African Overlanders in Stellenbosch (Google to find contact details) he has helped out several people get through the system in the past.
I'll respectfully disagree with Vaufi above. I've just finished traveling Africa (on a 650) and think a modern 250 would be a perfect bike to use as long as your one up and pack light. The only place you'll suffer a bit is South Africa on its highways but as soon as you move north light weight and manoeuvrability give you do many options. Good luck
