I don't know how popular the 206 is in SA but have you tried any car breakers/scrap yards?

What year of 206 is it as there's 2 completely different types of airbags used depending on age & there not interchangable.
You can buy them cheap enough used in the UK
BUT you cannot use airfreight to send them, has to be over land & sea, you will also need a replacement airbag ecu & front seatbelt pretensions.

2007 & you have managed to fire the airbags, this really needs checking professionally as a multiplexed 206 like this needs a really hard / heavy impact to even fire the srs system!
Id be amazed if the bodyshell / chassis isn't bent in someway.

No way was it a slight bump! to fire a multiplexed 206's srs sytem like you have it takes a heavy / hard impact, its gonna have damaged the chassis / bodyshell in some way.
