That particular problem has gone away now that Google is paying to SA via EFT nowadays, thank goodness.
Was that back before Google started paying out in local currency? I've only ever had cheques in ZAR, and FNB hasn't ever put a foreign draft fee on any of my cheque deposits. Just the regular cheque deposit fee of R15. But yes, thank goodness we can now just EFT it into an account!

I'm not entirely sure seeing as I haven't been paid out by them yet, but I think it would most likely be in dollars.

Okay, so withdrawing it to a bank wouldn't be an option for such a little amount. And you'll get shafted with withdrawal fees at an ATM. What about using a Payoneer card at a point of sale, or online?

I've asked around (mainly Payoneer) and I've received mixed responses, but is Payoneer regulated the same way as PayPal is in SA, i.e. do we have to withdraw funds to a bank account within 30 days? If that's the case, I could get Google AdSense earnings paid into Payoneer as well as the Amazon earnings, making sure the total is over $500, so then I could just get all of it into my account.
