Avoiding e-tolls with foreign number plates

[SteveO]

Your biggest problem will not be licensing, it will be customs and import duty. You cannot import secondhand vehicles into South Africa without having owned the car overseas for more than 12 months. You also cannot temporarily import a foreign-registered car for longer than 3 months. If you are a South African passport holder trying to temporarily import a foreign-registered car from say Botswana or Mozambique, you can expect to be given a hard time at the border when trying to bring the car into South Africa.

I have brought a botswana registered vehicle over the border every weekend for the last 3 months, they give me less hassle than SA registered vehicles....so no hassle at all.

SteveO, what documents would I need to buy a car abroad and bring it here?
