  I don't know much about S. Africa. Do you have any kind of government seat? You could start locally, maybe a town office. Even if they can't answer directly, they can give you who you would need to reach to find such information, or at least get you in the right direction of somebody who can help you more. Another route is to find out if you have an embassy in Germany, or to try and email a tourist board. While your not going to be a tourist, they can certainly provide you with some details, and again, they know their government best, and can start you on the right trail of who you would contact to get specific information.
