I can vouch for the reasons of this.

Ever tried to register a Botswana (.bw) domain?

Our company has a branch in Botswana and we would love to run it with a Botswana internet identity.

But it costs a fortune, and is an administrative nightmare.
 
As things stand in .za, there are domains where people can register names for free or for a once-off registration fee. “Domains such as nom.za, which is for individuals, and school.za, which is for schools, basically charge no fee for registration, while domains like org.za may charge a once-off fee. Of course, domain name holders who want to run their own websites will then separately pay hosting fees to their Internet service providers.”
