Hiya Matt. It's a South African PAYG sim he's referring to. Should you leave your new (temporary) number on your UK voicemail and ppl called you at that number it wouldn't cost you anything, since they'd be the calling party, i.e. you wouldn't pay to receive calls. Just get a phone sorted, mate

right, to confirm - if I do this SA PAYG option and forward all my calls to it then what will it cost me ?
@ Matt,I don't know what call-forwarding will cost you with Orange.Phone them, tell them you have a SA PAYG simcard and ask them what costs are involved in call forwarding to this SA number.
What I was trying to get across is just giving your 'new' SA PAYG number (printed on the back of the sealed simcard pack)when you get the simcard before you fly,to all who might be phoning you,instead of getting them to phone your usual UK number while you are in SA.

What will it cost me to receive calls on the SA PAYG if I give people the number to call directly (I could put this on my UK voicemail) ?
Nothing.
Same as when people in SA phone me directly on my UK mobile number,there is no costs for me for receiving these foreign calls here.
If it's friends and family phoning you,they can save a bit with a BT landline.If they dial 0911 5004000,(Call-Thru SA) calls to SA mobile networks is a flat rate of 15p.No other connection charges or hidden costs.

Vodacom is a SA mobile network,and the sealed new sims I have with me in London are all SA PAYG.

@ Matt,
just been to the post office and your very generous contribution towards postage allowed me to send the simcard pack via Special Delivery,and still have change for a few pints.
Thanks mate.
