That's really the end of that engine IMHO.

No idea what the chances are of finding a suitbale used engine in SA, here in Europe there are a few cars being broken up for spares - could you import one from here (whats the import tax etc?)
Sorry for your loss - can you get any money back from the person who sold it to you?
