The cost of living depends completely your lifestyle. I don't think it will be that costly. -

South Africa is an affordable country for students, everything is readily available on an affordable price. People there are very friendly and can speak in english, so communicating with local people is easy. If a student belongs to Regenesys Business School, then cost of accommodation is also saved as they offer hostels to their students free of cost and this will save a lot of expense for you.
