I recall an ex-JNB price hike last year, but I thought it had gone from $6k to $8k, and that one airline still had the old fares listed.

I feel your pain as I am in SA now and the last few months the rand has gone from 14.5 to 11.5. I purchased mid slide when it was apparent Zuma was going. Oslo is another option.
