Depending on the service history of the fork and shock as well as the drive train I will venture a guess of between 12 - 15k

Honestly, you won’t get two even semi decent bikes for R 15 k. 
 

I’d suggest either sell and buy the best HT you can find, but personally, I’d service the Camber, make sure you’re fitted on it well and just ride that if it is in good shape.

Judging by the front & rear spoke- mounted reflectors in situ in the spokes, as well as the still-in-place plastic spoke guard between spokes and cassette, this bike may well have been a ladies/or else a lightly used bike; not many riders will leave those items in place (#generalisation!).
 

Pedals, too. Bike looks in good condition.

I have a 2017 Camber that was retired from trail service, and it now spends its latter years as a very capable week-mornings tar tamer. I've costed the replacement of the drive train and suspension, front and back, and for that money I can't buy a new bike. So my medium term plan is to give the bike incremental upgrades and prolong its lifespan. It has about 16k kms on it so far. That bike really served me well as a long distance bike, trail bike, enduro bike, jump bike, crash bike and everything in between.

Looks as if the dork disc is still there as well. That bike hasn't really been ridden much it seems. It would make more sense on just spending some money to get it in top shape again.

Sweet. Thanks all. 

As stated, the bike is spotless, and has done more tar than gravel. 
Think ill do the 1x conversion and just work on fitness. It does not make sense how a gravel bike can cost more than a FS.

I use mine as a fitness rig and it is pretty comfortable on the road, and no slouch either. If you're planning on a 1 x conversion then consider 1x11. It's cheaper overall and you won't notice the difference from 1x12.
