Yeah dude i've checked it out. Was gassing for one a little while back, and still think I'm going to get one at some stage. Ask the guys at www.proaudio.co.za where you can find a dealer as they are the distributor. They don't sell direct to the public though. Last i checked they retail at R3299, but you might be able to knock a little bit off of that. There might not be any for sale in SA atm, in which case they would have to order for you.

If that is the case, then the other option is http://www.guitarcenter.com/Bugera-V5-5W-1x8-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp-105653901-i1470778.gc as GC are now shipping to SA.

Here's another option as well www.wwbw.com/Bugera-V5-5W-1x8-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp-502586-i1470778.wwbw

Just think I should warn you that the people on here aren't too keen on the Bugera's though.. ? I think they're pretty cool, and they're cheap as. The V5 is pretty mod friendly as well, so I think you might be able to get some great tone out of it, at an unmatched price.
    Thanks for the information dude ? I'm definately going to look into this.

    I have a question though with regard to importing amps from the States. I have always wanted to know will they work correctly here without any modifications? With regards to our difference in electricity.
      hmmm.. this is true. something that i've left out of my calculations. you could get a step down transformer, stepping down from 220 to 110. that should do the trick. else, and this is something that might be done anyway to get it to sound better, get a new PT (power transformer).

      example of a stepup/stepdown transformer:

      example of a new pt for the v5:
