It does look like you need to allow time or use a non-SA cellphone. I'm not sure your best friend's wife will be enough. I'd like to think registration could be done online, but apparently not. I had no SA ID book or utility bill, hence the need for written confirmation from the hotel.

Good luck![/QUOTE

I'll post my experience. One thing which I didn't make clear is that she'll be standing next to me. She owns a small flat in Nord Hoek and has a bank statement together with utility bills so I think it will fly. (She lives in Stuttgart. This is a second place). I have an eKit SIM right now in my E66 and an iPhone with unlimited international data so I might not bother.
