Why shops in South Africa charge more

Krugerrands and other bullion coins trade at a premium to their gold content; jewellers price per gram by karat.

This page shows what the gold itself is worth at the world price. A shop, bank or mint adds its spread, the cost of making the bar or jewellery, and any import duty or tax, so the price you pay is higher and the price you get when you sell is lower.
