I am based in Canada, and need to receive occasional payments from individuals in south africa. These would not be large payments - in the range of $20 US probably. As the rand (ZAR) is not supported by paypal, how would a South African person send me the money? What happens on their end? I understand they have foreign exchange controls there even, for sending money out of their country...
