The territory you are living in and your income depend how much loan amount you can take out. Generally, you can borrow payday loans from R100 to R5000 for two weeks to deal with your short term expenses. It is better to think before about the loan amount because you have to refund that as well with high interest rates. As much as the amount is small, it will be very convenient for you to repay that on time with no delay. Make sure you will have to pay from R15 to R30 to borrow R100 as interest rates for the loans so are a little careful with that.
