My South African wife confirmed that a bank wire costs about $35. As for shipping parts, that's a whole other difficult story. I have discussed this with my brothers-in-law and agreement was that a container was the most economical way to go if you plan to resell.  Needless to say it's something I opted not to pursue while I was there recently on my vacation.
