Get GiMP and Inkscape. If you have the talent, the apps won't matter.
I have never worked with GiMP and Inkscape. I haven't worked with the adobe programs for a long while now. So I am not that good...

Get Adobe creative cloud, you get whole creative suite for about R500 per month instead of several thousand rand once off.

It is $50/mo to rent. Maybe rent for a year and then get those apps above.
Does it have to be the whole adobe suite and not the selected ones?

You can get selected products only, but it's cheaper to get the whole suite.

Do I pay that much for 12 months? Or longer?

If you don't mind using an older version, browse to:

Create yourself an AdobeID & start downloading.

Forgot about that, actually
OP: I use the above Win version to create a quarterly magazine still today. In fact, I sent to print this morning. Nothing wrong with it.

If you aren't any good and haven't used the latest versions then it's all the more reason for you to try GIMP and/or Inkscape rather than wasting your money.

Paying for Photoshop/Illustrator is never a waste of money. It may be a bit over the top for a specific purpose, but it is most certainly not a waste. I'm not a designer by a long stretch, just need to edit/change images from time to time, used GIMP for a couple of months and then got creative cloud. Personally I found GIMP's interface extremely frustrating.
In the end it's the same as everything else in life, you get what you pay for.
I have designed logos and graphic art with Illustrator and Photoshop, and found them extremely good and I know I will not use any other programs. When I say I am not that good, I meant I haven't done it in years and gone a lil rusty... doesn't mean I am no good
Sometimes missing there.
Odsonline.co.za have CS6 Design Standard Student Edition for R2899. That includes the following:
Photoshop® CS6
Illustrator® CS6
InDesign® CS6
Acrobat® X Pro
Bridge CS6
Media Encoder CS6
If you have a student card from a college or university, then this deal will be massive saving.

It is, but if you're not signed up for a course in relation to the products they reject apparently. So you have to add the cost of the courses.

So is rape & murder & if Adobe really really really wanted to protect their software, the links etc. would have been removed a long long time ago.
Just saying...
