Good that your plant is growing a new leaf. The older leaves on my Rhynchostylis coelestis often show signs of low humidity during the spring months when I first move the orchids outdoors, but the plant recovers when the summer months (and their stifling humidity) arrive. So don't stress the dryness of your plant too much--unless your summers are also very dry.
On the other hand, I envy you living in the homeland of numerous encephalartos species. I would abandon ninety percent of my orchids in favor of those superb native South African cycads if I had the advantage of living in a similar environment.
