If your charges are similar, a 10 minute call would be somewhere around 1 to 1.5 £.
Using a voip provider like Voipcheap it is €0.10/min from UK to SA landline. No one should be paying rip off rates to call internationally these days. It is also worth looking for WhatsApp voice calls for free if the hotel has a WhatsApp number.
