You can get away with some of Arno’s cheap intro courses.
Search Facebook for Kembative Concepts, Tactical Defence Institute.
As mentioned Big T also has some fundamental classes.
Budget about R2500 for course fees, ammo(get reloading, you will shoot much more for the same money as factory) and subdries. But for the love of everything that is sweet, don’t buy more tactical goodies. Contact these folks, speak to them and save up. It will be the best start.
Sport shooting some good value with SADPA even with everything. 1 club shoot a month and your yearly membership, club fees and reloaded ammo will cost you about R500 per month. Really worth it to get some fun practice in. And there are tons of clubs in your vicinity.

Not to sound like an echo chamber but training, training and more training! The above trainers are all top notch, add to that list Mark Human from MultiDimensional Warriors (MDW).
A firearm isn't the be all and end all, consider investing in a decent handheld torch eg Olight, Surefire etc, pepper spray eg Sabre Red or Fox Labs, attending a Stop The Bleed course and purchasing a tourniquet at a minimum, consider investing in a fixed blade knife carried on your waistband this will also take a substantial amount of research and training but it can be highly useful. A WML is also useful but it requires an additional holster and the items listed above should be higher priorities.
As an added, subscribe to YouTube channels like Active Self Protection (think situational awareness)
Lastly conduct research and ask questions before you purchase accessories, so you can buy once cry once!
