Looks to me that the fare is indeed changing. Difference in ZAR prices on EF might be because individual carriers haven't updated their data yet. If it were me, and if you can get a ticket at the old price, I'd get it written this instant.
The airlines I was searching were AA, QR and BA. In that search BA still shows as unchanged. If I search for just BA by itself I do indeed get a DONE4 at ZAR88,410. I see what you mean about EF being not exactly what it should be.
If the increases are true, which they certainly appear to be, this would be an astronomical rise.
