This consultation is a scam. I have paid a lot of money to get my passport and still it’s been nine months. I’ve been unable to get my passport it seems I am also blocked from the email because I cannot contact them anymore via email and every time I call I’m taking around in hoops, without any conclusion, I want my money back this is a crime to Steal money from people and not for fill your promises and obligations I am a student and it’s harder ready for me to be here in a foreign country and have my own countries government still and put me in an uncomfortable situation. I have been pleading for the past nine months with this institution to give me a refund if they cannot fulfill the obligations, but I have falling on deaf ears, and I am in raged and want my money back.

I have called the phone number on this website numerous times. It does not even give a ringtone. What is the number that I can call to talk to someone? I have also emailed, but no response. How can South Africans get anything done with service like this?

Good Day I am to attend a graduation ceremony at the University of South Africa, Pretoria, which takes place on October 30, 2023. I therefore plan to leave China to South Africa on October 27, 2023. Currently, my residence permit in China will expire on October 25, 2023. I humbly want to inquire if I can apply for a visa now so I can get my passport for renewal of my resident permit. Thank you
