    Back issues or on sale on bidorbuy.co.za
    Or try a comic shop like Readers Den or Outer Limits. A secondhand bookshop may have some.
    There are also books available which are collections of stories from MAD (see DC Comics website) - these you should be able to get from good book shops or kalahari.com

    I am a collector in the United States. I am looking for the first issue of the South African edition of MAD. It is #253 from March 1985. I am happy to pay a fair price plus shipping for a copy, or I can send you some stuff from the U.S. Please email me at JCL969@gmail.com if you have this issue or any information to help me find it.

    Thank you.
