R900m for that?

WACS and Seacom both cost approximately $650m, so R5.8bn for a 14000km cable.. so about R414m per 1000kms. Assuming a 1600km cable I get to a figure of about R650m.

Seems like someone is making a bit of extra cream here...

This is south africa, people come from far and wide (but mostly local) for the obviously plentiful cream!
