There are cheaper and convenient options to send money using Worldremit which is fully authorised and safe too. Obviously It's not as cheap as crypto but it's quite convenient compared to a physical visit to the bank.
I once helped a friend to send hers to Nigeria just using the WorldRemit App and the recipient still got it to their bank account on the same day.
There are limits though when sending from SA to anywhere in the world:
-The max send amount per transfer is $279.64 and the max send amount per month is $1398.42
In your case - You would have spent $14 to make two transfer since one can't exceed $279.64 per transaction but that will still save more than 67% from the $42.
All the best!
Worldremit was one of the options that came up when I was looking for ways to do the transfer, there was mama money also (can't recall if I get the spelling right) I even downloaded the App but couldn't proceed when it required KYC.
I just didn't want to deal with KYC of which I don't even have ID, payslip etc.
It is the reason I opted for Western Union just to get it over and done with considering time is now running out.
Thanks for sharing this.
What are the requirements to use Worldremit?

But you have friends -just like the one you took to the bank? and I am one of them too last time I checked?☺️
It's Great that all things are finally taking shape.
One of the things I dislike most is asking friends for help that is related to them having to present their ID and personal data. As much as I have friends like you that are willing to help I always feel handicapped knowing under normal circumstances these are things I can do for myself without asking for help.
