For folks following along, this is $68K USD in terms of SDA.
These are some of the SUREST ways to make money (if you are connected). If you can get a currency allocation not available to others, you have a license to print money or if you can get loans / access to capital in a devaluing currency situation (ie, the folks getting the big loans in venezueala etc often very connected, paying back pennies on dollar).
My impression is that folks with FC needs - you run a business outside of country that handles the foreign currency piece, then try to just remit in only what is needed. Zimbabwae has the same thing (you can also partner / barter with someone so that their inbound FCA covers your outbound FCA needs so that nothing gets in where it gets stuck or gets what are called preferential allocations. )
For up to R10m per annum you need to apply to the reserve bank.
Anything more is extremely difficult, and that makes me think that is why there is almost always a premium on BTC on local exchanges.
Makes you wonder how corrupt people got their money out (billions) though.
