The SARL administers licence on behalf of members and not-yet-members as a service. You can do it on your own, but why give yourself a headache?

Visitors to South Africa and amateurs from South Africa wanting to operate abroad can also make use of the reciprocal licencing services.

More information coming soon. Old site information available here (may be outdated!). Guest / Reciprocal Licencing (sarl.org.za)

Regulatory documents are available here: Amateur Radio Regulations – South Africa (sarl.org.za)
