The most unprofessional consulate ever
I applied for a spouse dependent visa during the first week of February. So far nothing, nada, zilch.
With the passport with them how can one travel to anyother country?

Either their phones are busy which is understandable given the number of frustrated citizens tryingto phone them or they do not pick up. If they do pick up they disconnect the line. The worst service I have come across from a consulate, high commission or embassy in the whole wide world and I have travelled the world over.

What does this speak of the relations between India and South Africa, when neither country wants to take responsiblity for people who want to tavel between these two countries?

It is terrible, no accountability, no professionalism. Maybe the best way to get this problem is to hold a stike in front of the SA high commissions in India. I guess that is the only way in which service delivery can be achieved in India, else no one listens.

Permits
Hey All, Is there any update on work permit. I applied in January and still waiting for the visa. There is no update from them. No one is taking care of the delays and every now n then they have holidays even after having that much backlog. Has any one got work permit in recent times ? Please update. It is killing me mentally.

Group Tour to SA departing on 26th April 2014
Hi guys,
Unfortunately booked my SA tour with MMT departing on 26th Apr 2014 to celebrate my wedding anniversary. MMT has today called me and asked to beg for visa. I have already lost a lot of money and am spending sleepless nights - I HAVE VOWED NEVER TO VISIT THIS DAMN COUNTRY IN MY LIFE. Just kick them out of India. Thanks for the moral support I got by reading your posts

Finally got it
Dear rr,
I just want to tell you'll... There is a huge back log at the Embassy and so it's all luck whether ur visa comes thru or no. The agents are not bothered and r nincompoops... They r not going to work that extra mile... So if u want your visa, get ur butt to the embassy urself and beg beg and beg... Finally, got my visa after begging to the Counsel General at 7.30pm.. I fly tonight and embassy closed now till Monday!! Phew....
God bless him!!!

All the best!
