Transit Visa for South Africa
Sir,

I need to Air travel from Harare, Zimbabwe to Lilongwe, Zimbabwe but my flight is via Johannesburg by South African Airways. I will have to just change my flight at Johannesburg air port for Lilongwe.

Do I need to obtain transit visa of South Africa?

I studied web site of Ministry of Home Affairs, South Africa and they says as below.

With effect from 18 December 2015 travellers, with the exception of deportees, who transit through O R Tambo International Airport; Cape Town International Airport; King Shaka International Airport and Lanseria International Airport do not require transit visas as contemplated in section 10B(4)(a) of the Immigration Act, 2002 (Act No 13 of 2002). However, transiting passengers will be subjected to biometric capturing. Deportees transiting at any port of entry are required to be in possession of a transit visa at all times and must be escorted. "

Can any body guide on this?
