I can wholeheartedly recommend the Brother MFC-L5900DW 4-in-1 Monochrome Laser Printer or its smaller brother the MFC-L5700DN.
The MFC-L5900DW has been replaced by the MFC-L5710DW – I have no experiece yet with this printer but it sells for around R10,000 and includes a 5 year warranty which says a lot about Brother’s confidence in the machine.
They may seem expensive but as you may have noticed cheap printers tend to be expensive to run whereas these 2 are probably the most cost effective currently available.
The MFC-L5900DW does duplexing for copying and scanning. Includes a 5 year warranty
