If you have the archive reference numbers you can order them through eggsa.org  Their prices are very reasonable although it can take up to six weeks to get the copies.

Just to let you all know, I ordered the death notice direct from the archives and with in a week received them via email.

Did the same with Pretoria archives, and with in a week received them as well via email.

And at no cost to me.
