Dont blame anyone taking heir money out, Rand will go to 20/25 eventually
Only 25? I'd be delighted at that.

If you're staying in South Africa, you have to have a plan for 50 to the dollar. Not saying it will happen, but the probability is high enough that you have to have a plan for it.

What is the best way to have your money flee south africa...?

Asking for a friend.
Relatives overseas?
1. Dump all funds in your current/savings account;
2.. Open bank account in selected country;
3. Buy plane ticket (and take maximum allowance in traveller cheques);
4. Swipe card for every single expense that relative would normally incur, eg school fees, groceries, booze, car maintenance, entertainment, etc.
5. Relative reimburses all your payments into above-mentioned account;
6. Return home with very depleted bank account

More likely like Zimbabwe - R200-R300 to the Dollar. But, since SA is worse off than Zimbabwe, it would be more like R600-R800 to the Dollar.

Hugs my Wise and UK Bank accounts.

Only one problem for all of us holding bank accounts abroad, whether we live in SA or abroad. If the ANC pulls funny stunts and get sanctioned we may end up on the blacklist and no South African national may hold these accounts. Like Zimbabweans, Venezuelans, Russians and more. All accounts be closed. The only permanent solution is to start working towards new citizenship abroad.
