The patch proposed by martin Pitt is is ok for, but I guess it's better to also fix the comments of the en_ZA file.

[Bug 887395] [NEW] en_ZA locale decimal point inconsistency
Public bug reported: In the locales package, the file en_ZA (for South Africa) gives a dot '.' as decimal point. However, the Qt library gives a comma ',' as decimal point.
