Foreigner registering in South Africa

I already posted in the general forum beffore realising there was a SA specific thread. I am a UK resident trying to get registration papers for a D4 in Cape Town, the dealer is telling me I need a three year visa before this is possible, I have 3 months! Any wisdom on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

There's a motorcycle vlogger I follow called ItchyBoots. She bought a motorbike in SA and had difficulties registering it. I think its this episode:

I think from memory she persuaded the dealership to register it, and had to bring it back to them.

Welcome Alwaysthirsty

I have no knowledge of SA law, but might it be worth considering setting up a company & registering the vehicle in the name of that company?

Thanks Gents, it appears as in the video that the dealer will register it in their name, NJSS I like your idea as well, I will post the results when I am wiser.

Following up for anyone else in the same boat, I downloaded the relevant documents and headed up to the registration dept. in Cape Town and all good. Not sure what the dealer was complicating the issue for.
Should be legal in a few weeks.
