Not that I have access to the book, but there's an excellent
reference on the web to see if you have a copy in a nearby library
(none are listed for .za- sorry again, Greig).
www.worldcatlibraries.org will allow one to search for a given title
(author, book, or periodical) and based on your IP address show you
the nearest libraries in the system that have what you're looking for.
Remarkably useful.
