When speaking English, most South African usage is of the short scale (based on powers of a thousand plus one):

bi-llion implies 2 → (103)2+1 = (103)3 = 109 which has nine zeros.

If you had asked how many zeros in 1 biljoen rand (een biljoen rand) you would have been speaking Afrikaans and would have been using the long scale (based on powers of a million):

bi-ljoen implies 2 → (106)2 = 1012 which has twelve zeros.
