Can't go wrong with STXIND or RAFIND. As Patrick said, a mixture of the 2 as the STXIND is heavy with Naspers and the RAFIND not. The ave for years has been 25 to 30% pa.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Agree, good advice if you don't feel comfortable with individual stocks yet, although individual stocks can do way better imo.  Depending on your situation/personality, its either 'better safe than sorry' and choose former or 'nothing ventured, nothing gained' and choose latter. Good luck.

I used to always buy the satrix indi, and it's done very well for me. Lately I've been buying 50% satrix indi, 50% eRafi indi. Does pretty much the same, and I like the balance between the two.

Just keep your fees as low as possible, and when you're only buying once, that means make sure there are no monthly or yearly admin fees. For R20 000 don't even bother looking around, just go to https://www.easyequities.co.za/
