I updated the conference wiki, but to answer some of your questions:

Are the "Wow Capetown Travel and Tours” prices correct? They seem really expensive (e.g., US$45 is around 600ZAR, compared to 400ZAR for an Uber in both directions without sharing
Yes they are a bit more expensive but they offer a “Meet & Greet” service with staff at the airport, ready to welcome each person. This may might be a good, safe option for first-time visitors to be welcomed and escorted to their transportation. Clients are asked to provide the time, date, and flight number of both their arriving and departing flights.
- the US$80/day tours seem extremely expensive!).
I n terms of the pricing…… We looked at several other companies for group tour options e.g.,
Ilios Travel – R1350 per person about $104 USD
African Eagle – R1300 per person about $100 USD
Wow's price is R1040 ($80 USD ) also includes entrance fees of $23usd per person.

BTW, I’ve put some currency conversion estimates at: https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Peel/Currency and have created the template at: https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Currency that might be useful to add to the info pages.
Thanks, Mike

There are several options, and yes that is a bus shuttle and the costs are listed.

Thank you.
As I have just posted on the page's talk-page:
"How do we get to the city centre/ event venue from the airport? The Cape Town page says to use MyCiTi - that's a bus, I think, but it's not clear. What does it cost? Is exact change needed? Do we pay on the bus, or at the airport?"

Wikivoyage:
https://en.wikivoyge.org/wiki/Wikimania_2018_Cape_Town_Guidebook
has a page with advice for Wikimania attendees. It's a good start, but needs more local knowledge. Please help to improve the page if you can
For instance, South Africa uses both "Europlug" and "type D" power sockets - but which is most prevalent at the city's hotels, and the conference venue?
