Hi Mike
To start I looked at various official SA
websites and could find no mention of anyone having to have an International
Licence for a short stay unless such licence was not in the English language.
I then spoke on the phone with, I think, the top AA person, who said you have
to have an International Licence but then admitted that what they were saying
to their members and the public that it was advisable.
It appears some of the many provincial
traffic policemen are insisting on an International Licence. While I am sure
that if you were prepared to wait for clarification by a senior person or
involve the South African Police Force you would win the argument but suffer
long delay !
In my view it probably is
advisable to obtain an International
Drivers Permit valid for 5 years and costing $30.
Regards
John
