Dear Sir/Madam I'm contacting you from South Africa in the hope you assist with an urgent matter. The below three learner candidates are due to commence with their bicycle mechanic courses at Torq Zone Academy in Lynwood Manor, Pretoria with effect from Thursday 5 Oct’23 until Thursday 26 Oct ’23. Their visas have however not yet been released by the South African High Commission so they cannot yet travel to attend the courses. I kindly and humbly request that their passports with the supporting visas be released as soon as possible, preferably by Wednesday 4 Oct ’23, that these candidate learners can make the start of the course on time and reap the full benefit of the training. • Azeez Ayomide Lawal (Passport No B02264098) Visa Ref SALA/190923/0049/01 • Henry Kalama Odumu (Passport No B01627230) Visa Ref SALA/190923/0047/01 • Fashanu Favour Ubani (Passport No B50548531) Visa Ref SALA/ 190923/ 0043/01 The Nigerian foundation sponsoring these candidate learners has in the last few years been very supportive of Torq Zone Academy and has sent no less than 6 learners on training. They have chosen South Africa and not the United Kingdom as their preferred training provider and have in a small way thereby contributed economically to our small business and the locally. We hope that by releasing their passports as soon as possible this can continue to be the case. Apologies for the unsolicited correspondence but I feel it is important we resolve this matter soonest. Thank you for your sterling work abroad, feel free to get back to me if you have questions, and thank you in advance for your assistance. Graeme Stickells MD Torq Zone Academy Pretoria

Sandra Nwanne

Good evening. My name is Sandra Nwanne, I submitted my Documents to obtain a South Africa Tourist Visa since on the 25th of August 2023 and it’s almost a month and I haven’t gotten a single feedback. My Leave was supposed to start yesterday. I try to track the Visa today and it says “your application is received and under assessment at the South Africa High Commission, Lagos. Please I want to know if my document was moved out and sent to South Africa Embassy because I didn’t even receive an SMS or email notification after I submitted it and I was asked to go with my passport and would be called back to bring it if my Visa was to be approved and the person that attended to me said that it will take 3 to 21 working days and tomorrow will make it 20 working days and I haven’t received any notification. I want to know if my document was moved out to the embassy. Please find below my Reference number and other necessary information. SALA/250823/0001/01 Date of Birth: 25/04/1992 My phone number: 08038945700 Date I submitted the Document: 25/08/2023 by 8am Please I will appreciate a swift response.
