Local payments

Riebeeck Kasteel, South Africa

I'm in South Africa and all my guests have been South Africans. My bank charges me almost 50% of my one-night room rate for the international forex transfer. Is there any way to avoid this ridiculous charge? Why don't Airbnb have a local payment system which would avoid this?
