Wrongful advertising or chaos

On the Device Store page they advertise an iPhone 8 64Gb for: "You can pay the whole amount upfront or pay it off monthly using the budget facility your Standard Bank Credit Card. R8 999 Prepaid/Once-Off cost or R399 x 24 months".

When queried how this relates to the "credit card payment facility special low rate of only 11% per annum", I was informed the full amount is charged on transaction, then card charge (11%) is added and then divided by 24 for a monthly payment. So R8999 x (11% x 2) = R1979 for a total of R10978. If I divide this by 24 = R457 so where does the R399 x 24 come from?
