The South African Rand is widely accepted. The local currency is the Metical. However, they do prefer US$ and ZAR in cash.
Be sure to check the Exchange Rate whenever anyone quotes you. As an example, ZAR 1.00 = 4.22 Metical but it will obviously vary depending on the prevailing Exchange Rate at that point in time.
