This is what i dug up from their Hong Kong website

Straight conversion from hong kong dollar to rands:

43" = R8 417,74
49" = R11 798,36
55" = R13 488,67
65" = R20 249,91

They own Sinotec. It's best to go to shop and check it out.

Seems a bit steep for a 55" UHD, sure hisenses are a bit cheaper. Takealot has them

I find it very difficult to compare in store. The lighting and space has a big impact.

I'm also wondering about the pricing. I am looking at getting one of these soon - because Steam link

With Skyworth pricing so close to Samsung, why would one go Skyworth?
