Getting paid from South Africa
South Africa's currency is the South African rand (ZAR). Salaries here are listed in USD, so your take-home depends on the exchange rate and the fee charged to convert it.
Foreign employers usually pay people in South Africa by bank transfer or through a payments platform. As a contractor you invoice them yourself; through an employer of record you're on a local payroll in South African rand.
