Relatives July
This is really disheartening. Why would August applications be processed and July still be pending. CSV or Spousal we all have a need and have families. Why the discrimination? This is sooo wrong.

Extension of visa
1. If your visa is expiring on the 31st of December 2017, are you supposed to be out of SA by then or are you given a few extra days before you can vacate?
2. Does anyone know when the embassy in Harare reopens after the christmas break?
