Sadly Xigmatek and Scythe are not available locally. Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme ( http://titan-ice.co.za/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_25&products_id=788 )is a really good option, but pricey. The Zalman Flex ( http://titan-ice.co.za/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_25&products_id=2337 )might be an idea, or the Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus ( http://titan-ice.co.za/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_25&products_id=1811 ) is money is tight.

Of course if you can afford it, I'm loving the Corsair H50. ( http://titan-ice.co.za/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=163_211&products_id=1716 ).
