“Your excellent website made online booking prior to departure very easy for a “techno phobic” Granny. After one of the longest, long haul flights that one can undertake, on arrival in Cape Town your service was super smooth with all booking paper work to hand and in order. No long frustrating wait and friendly helpful service from staff, who were even prepared to take an extra walk with me to help with luggage and show me the way to the car. Having checked the prices and offers of many, many car hire companies, what you have to offer is all round the very best. I have recommended your company to friends and family in South African and fellow travellers making the trip to South Africa. I will definitely be in touch again to make a booking for my next visit to South Africa.”
— Jenny Urbani, From Masterton, North Island, New Zealand
“Our hire was dealt with very efficiently and quickly on arrival at Port Elizabeth Airport, and we had a small problem half way through our hire period and were given a replacement car immediately.

— Mrs Margaret Alderson, Kendal, Cumbria, UK
“I live in Toronto and still having a business in South Africa do visit quite often Being able to book my vehicle on the website and getting a quick response and confirmation is comforting when there is so much to plan and organise around a trip.

I can only recommend SA Car Rental and will certainly be using them again in future.”

“This February we get our first impressions of South Africa, and all of these impressions were superb. Beginning with the perfect service of the car rental company (almost brand new car, unlimited mileage), quick service at the pick up and also at the end of the rental. A good surprise was the flexibility with gas-refilling at the end of the rental. We had not to search for the nearest gas-station around the airport, they refilled the tank with no surcharge (not like in America). We had good experience in South Africa, car rental and gasolin are reasonable priced. We plan to go back in the near future with the kids.”
— Zoltan Ronai, Keszü, Hungary
“My husband and I recently(in Feb) hired a car through SA Car Rental as we wanted to go to the Cape and do a bit of exploring along the West Coast.The unlimited KM offer was ideal for our needs. We flew to PE and picked up our ‘golf” at First Car Rental at the PE airport. We were very impressed with the service and were on the road within 20 min of landing.This was a bonus as we were spending our first night in Kenton on Sea and didn’t relish the idea of driving in the dark. It is the first time I have ever booked anything over the internet and I was pleasantly surprised at how efficiently the whole experience was handled. It saved alot of time and stress.Thank you SA Car Rental and First Car Rental and keep up the good service!”
— Lil Marshall, Durban, South Africa

— Jeandre Gerding, Johannesburg
“It was such a pleasure booking a car via you guys. I got exactly what I was looking for, esp the unlimited km! your website made it so easy and also offered loads of info regarding the specific car I was looking for. My experience at the First Car Rental counter was just as pleasant. When I arrived at the counter, an envelope with my name on was already waiting for me. It took me about 10minutes at the counter and i was ready to hop in to the car. I was really really impressed with the service at First Car Renatls. The car i received was a brand new Polo Classic Auto. What a pleasure to drive! My fiance and I had no hiccups with regards to our journey through to Knysna. Everything seemed to go just perfect! I am definitely going to use you guys again! Its soooo convenient!”
— Clyde Smith, Durban
“I did my booking online and was quite surprised by the voucher which reached me instantaneously. What surprised me more was that I did not have to pay up front. I appreciated the trust placed in me to reserve a car without even a deposit. On visiting your premises at Oliver Tambo International Airport I was greeted courteously and very friendly. The assistant was professional and effective. I have been overseas recently and forwarded your website address to a number of friends who will be visiting South Africa. On returning the car I was billed correctly and there were no hidden costs. You have got a client for life!!”
— Bertie Heckroodt, Beacon Bay, East London, South Africa
“My dear wife and I frequently and regularly use rental cars. I am an economist (permit me to say of some renown) and renting cars on your terms do make economic sense for us. We became aware of your services only recently and have since become almost addicted to making use of it – a holiday without a SA Car Rental car is not a holiday for us. We fly to our holiday destinations e.g. Kruger Park, and use one of your new late model neat and spotlessly clean cars with confidence for its reliability and comfort as well as the economic benefit thereof. Service wise you are in a premium league of your own while on the score of price everyone else is running in your dust!”
— Willem Roets, Durbanville, Cape Town
“I was very impressed with the service I received from First Car Rental. The most important thing for me was that there were no hidden costs. I knew the full extent of what it was going to cost me up front. On arrival at Durban airport all the documentation was ready and I was treated by a friendly, competent and efficient staff. The same was true on my returing the car. All in all it ws a very good experience. Thank you for gettng it right and doing it well.”
— Barry Wood, Cape Town
“This is just a couple of words to thank you for the excellent service your Church street branch gave me in Pretoria. My car went in for repairs so I checked on the internet for a rental, I found 1st car rental very easily and happened to chose them above the others. The booking procedure was very easy and convenient.I booked the night before and the car was ready for me by 9 am the next day. The staff at the Pretoria branch were very friendly and helpful on the 2 occasions that I booked cars.The cars were clean and in excellent condition for the price I paid. Thank you for the excellent service”
— Richard West, Pretoria
“A friend actually told me about SA Car Rental just a few weeks ago. I found the web site very user friendly in that you only input very basic information and your car is reserved. I have found the staff very friendly in both the sites I have used (i.e. Durban International Airport and Braamfontein). With SA Car Rental I can go back into the website and request my final invoice – I normally have it within a few minutes via e-mail which is wonderful. You guys don’t hold exorbitant deposits so I can still use the rest of the credit available on the card. The billing structure is so simple that I know before I am billed exactly what I am in for. I’ve only just started using SA Car Rental and I think its going to be a long relationship.”
— Bonga Gambushe, Rosebank, Johannesburg
“A remarkable experience, from navigating your web page, to the warm welcome received from your staff to a clean, new vehicle. The greatest part of all was by far the super prices and unlimited km – makes a huge difference to a persons holiday experience. Thank you for a making our trip a pleasure.”
— Denise Taylor, Kelowna British Columbia, Canada
“I have travelled a lot, mostly for passion in travelling, sometimes for work. I am a radiologist in Rome (Italy) ,and also a teacher in University. I never had a so good service in my past experience. Both booking (free of charge in advance) and service in travel were very satisfying. The cars that I have rented were new and in a good condition of maintenance. Definetively I plan to book again the same company in my next trip in Southafrica.”
— Giuseppe Potente, Roma, Italia
“I would like to thank you and your staff for the excellent service, which we received when recently renting a car from the Cape Town International Airport. Normally choosing the regular big name rental firms, this was my first experience with First Car Rental. Arriving at close to midnight on the 14th December, after an exhausting flight from the Caribbean via Amsterdam, I was welcomed with a smile, quickly run through the paperwork and on the N2 in no time. I was also very pleased with the spotless, almost new (3000km), Nissan Tiida which was perfect for my family holiday needs. The drop off was very quick and efficient. The cost and billing was very fair. I flew 118 000km during 2009 (Caribbean, USA, Europe & SA) and had to come to Cape Town to experience the very best in car rental service. Well done and thank you!”
— Geoff Williams, Tortola, British Virgin Islands
“I was extremely impressed with my recent SA Car Rental in Cape Town. I hired a base model and dealt with two branches Airport and Greenpoint/City bowl. Staff at both were excellent and efficient and the vehicle hired was brand new with only 200 km on the clock! I will definitely make use of SA Car Rental for all future car rentals. Well done guys.”
— Wesley Smith, Johannesburg
“It was an excellent choice in car hire, your consultants dropping the car off and also when we handed the car back gave us five star treatment. The unlimited kilometer scenario was a smart idea and the vehicle we got was very economical, meeting all our needs Well done and keep it up, good service is hard to find these days. You have us as a client!”
— Copper Ludick, Pretoria
“Dit was die eerste keer dat ik van julle dienste gebruik gemaak het, en wil ek jou meedeel dat dit nog die beste diens was in terme van waarde vir geld, hulpvaardigheid en ondersteuningsdiens. Sou die geleentheid voordoen dat ek weer ‘n voertuig moet huur, sal ek beslis van julle gebruik maak. Verder sal ek aanbevelings doen aan ander wat ‘n voertuig wil huur, met die grootste plesier. Nogmaals dankie vir julle ondersteuning. Vriendelike groet”
— Paul Bijvoet (Nasionale Gids)
“I called to make a booking and spoke to a very helpful gentleman called Ian, he then assisted me with details of the car that I was going to hire. On arriving to pick up the car I received good services from the guys at Durban international airport as well as returning the car. The service I received from this Company was excellent. I have and will continue spreading the word to my family and friends and indeed I will hire again. Good work and keep up your standards”
— Deidre Ullbricht, Durban
“Hiring a car from SA Car Rental was a wonderful experience. I expected a lot of hassles as I was hiring a car for the first time; to my surprise there were none. National Alamo is a professional company indeed. The manner in which my online booking was handled is excellent. When I arrived at their offices at the OR Tambo Airport I expected to spend about an hour, but I to my surprise, everything was processed speedily and I was driving the car in less than fifteen minutes. The car was clean and in a very good condition. I kept the car for 8 days but the amount I paid was very reasonable. The unlimited KM option is simply the best. I am a National Alamo client for life!”
— Lazarus Ngcobo, Cape Town
“I recently rented a car from SA Car Rental for my visit to Cape Town.I must say that I was very pleased with the efficiency of your staff and the quality of the car. Upon arrival at Cape Town airport I found the staff friendly and happy with my car ready and waiting, despite the fact that I had entered the wrong pick up time on my email request. Upon drop off of the car in downtown Cape Town a member of staff was pleased to drive me across town to my next appointment. A value for money vehicle and quality friendly service, I could not ask for more.”
— Dr Roger A Firman, East Sussex, UK

— Wayne Thomas, Overijse, Belgium
“The car was close to new, we could prolong the contract via the internet and very easily change the drop-off location twice. This enabled a very flexible way of travelling and I would certainly hire from you again!”
— Inge Delfosse, Brussels, Belgium
“I surfed on line for prices and got the best week’s car hire deal from Ian Gouws at SA Car Rental. I have no hesitation in recommending car hire through SA Car Rental, The online car booking worked perfectly, the staff at the car hire company were great, the collection and return faultless and, best of all, the bill at the end exactly what I was expecting. SA Car Rental’s website is an amazing source of information for South Africa and Cape Province in particular. I would say your website is the only one anyone needs to look at for ideas and suggestions of where to go and what to look at in Cape Town and the surrounding areas.Ian went out of his way to contact by phone a tour company for me when I could not get a reply to emails to them, brilliant service indeed. Highly recommended.”
— Alistair Barclay, Bristol, England, UK
“My first visit to RSA was the best holiday I have ever had. Your hire cars enabled me to do over 4000kms around Capetown, Garden Route, Durban and St Lucia, Port Elizabeth, Rustenberg, Nelspruit and Kruger. The most stunning scenery, ( I took over 2000 photos and videos) , wonderful interaction with the Sth African people in all areas and all walks of life. My final 3 days at Kruger took me back to 5yo at the Zoo for real wonderment and excitement. Thanks for great memories I will treasure forever.”

This year was no exception. You truly remain the best value for money. Here is a high five from the Greeff’s!”
— Hennie Greeff, Doha, Qatar
“It was wonderful renting from SA Car Rental and First Car Rental. The website is very user friendly. All the necessary information could be found and the booking could be done by the click of a button. The rates given was very good and no payment was necessary to reserve a car. We’ve asked for a car with the largest boot space in the category and when we got to the airport, I’ve noticed that a huge note was made on the paper work. So we got exactly what we asked for. Our car was ready for us on arrival and the process in the office went smoothly and quickly. Also at the return, we did not have to go to the office again. The car was dropped and checked within a few minutes! Within a week after we returned the car, we got a notice from the bank regarding the money that was taken off my account towards First Car and the amount was exactly what we’ve expected it to be. We are very satisfied with SA Car Rental and First Car Rental and will definitely contact them again when visiting South Africa again!!”
— Romien Benson, United Arab Emirates

— Juan Carlos Ritrovato, Buenos Aires, Argentina
“Our experience with SA Car Rental is highly recommend. Everything was cheap and easy. We were on holidays and first of all we want no problems, and obviously the best for our money. SA Car Rental was both. Starting with the booking, we compare different prices, and with fully insurance was the cheapest. also very effectively We did some last minute changes, and they react very fast. when we arrive there everything was ready, was fast and people was very very nice (in fact they even help us with our touristic doubts). We don’t waste time or money. For the return we don’t have time to fulfill the tank, and the charge they made to us was fair, not like other companies that made you an enormous charge… Nice, cheap, easy, no problems, no long queue…. SA Car Rental is the best way for saving your money and time and with a good quality service.”
— Carolina Garófano, Madrid, Spain

— Ailton Silveira, Vinhedo, Brazil
“A very straightforward and easy to book car rental online. The rental itself was inexpensive and I was amazed how relatively little extra it cost to leave the car in Port Elizabeth when we had picked it up in Capetown.”

The people in Capetown (arrival) and in Port Elizabeth (departure) were nice and very efficient. We had a very good car for a very good price and are certainly willing to use again SA Car Rental on our next trip.”
— Didier Neuvecelle, Geneva, Switzerland
“I was really surprised to be met with such courtesy and hospitality in a South African office of any organisation. Even tea was included. Your ladies were exceptionally pleasant and friendly, and gave the impression that they had plenty of time for every customer despite being so busy. I witnessed a German visitor to South Africa change his booking then and there from a competitor, because he was so impressed with his treatment when he only came into the office to ask for directions. And your vehicle was immaculate. I will certainly come back to you – and the billing was correct.”
— David Fisher, Lusaka, Zambia
“The whole experience was good. We choose to have our car delivered to our hotel in Cape Town. The guy was prompt, professional and helpful. This cost us 140 ZA which was good value. The car was well presented. Drop off was easy too at Port Elizabeth airport. Again the guy we dealt with was good. Our bill was what we expected…so we’re happy! Good service, competitive pricing.”
— Chris Rolle, Durham, England
“I was really pleased with the service, let me provide feedback:
We have booked a car for our 2 weeks holiday in South Africa on the internet through SA Car Rental/First Car Rental. We were happy about unlimited KM, no advance payment at time of booking and well competitive rate. We received via e-mail voucher and confirmation with thorough detailed information what is necessary and how to proceed with pick-up. Upon our arrival to Cape Town, there was a Car Rental desk in the arrival hall, we were expected, the car was ready, everything went really smoothly, the staff was really helpfull and within a couple of minutes we were sitting in our car. We traveled over 3 thousands km throughout Eastern and Western Cape and all the time, we could rely on our car, in fact, it was brand new. At time of return, we arrived at the airport a bit latter then we had planned and again we were pleased with how fast the return was processed, in 2 minutes the car was checked and we signed the return slip. I have to thank SA Car Rental/First Car Rental for their excelent service, this was probably my best ever experience with car rental, I can recommend them as first option.”
— Stanislav Samek, Prague, Czech Republic
“We collected and returned the car at Johannesburg Airport for a four day trip to Kruger. The car was in perfect condition complete with a full tank of petrol, which successfully got us to Kruger, and fully comprehensive insurance. On our return we did not need to worry about refilling the car before returning it, which was a huge relief as we were in unfamiliar territory. The car was priced very reasonably, with no hidden extras, and staff were very efficient and friendly. We will definitely look out for SA Car Rental on future trips.”
— Emma O’Neill, Dublin, Ireland
“Our car rental experience through SA Car Rental was really fabulous.

“We made our booking whilst in Canada. We wanted a vehicle that was both comfortable and affordable. We discovered SA Car Rental online and were impressed at what they offered and the ease of making the booking. Also, not being charged any fees until we picked up the vehicle (we eventually chose the Mercedes Benz C200K) and the fact that we could use a Candian credit card, helped secure our choise of rental company. Our choise of vehicle was by far the most inexpensive one compared to what other rental companies offered for the same vehicle with the unlimited km’s and extended warrenty. We initially booked the vehicle for 5 days and decided that we need it longer. The sales team were very approachable and friendly and extended our booking for an extra 5 days. Picking up and returning the vehicle were very easy, no long waiting. I would and have recommended SA Car Rental to friends travelling to South Africa.”
— Schalk van Breda, Swift Current, Canada
“We rented a Toyota Corolla through SA Car Rental for the whole month of december 2008. We drove almost 4000 km. It was a wonderful car, for a more than wonderful price! We were very satisfied.

When we visit South Africa again we will surely come back to you!”
— Frans en Marga van Nooijen, Zuidlaren, The Netherlands
“I rented a car from SA Car Rental in December 2008 (03rd December – 31st December). Apart from really being the most affordable, what I liked was that I could book the car in June of 2008 for a December rental! and the price did not increase. The service at the rental counter at Cape Town international was quick, professional and friendly.”
— Mogamat Shafeek, Kamalie, Brunei

The paperwork was effortless, billing correct and on time. Well done, will be using your services again.”
— Dino Christodoulou, Davao City, Philippines

All in all we were happy with SA Car Rental – a perfect car rental experience.”

I would recommend this car rental company to my friends visiting South Africa in the next future. Keep up the good work!”
— Alberto Sinibaldi, Roma, Italy

— Mrs Gaseone Zelda Kraai, Gaborone, Botswana

I hope to return to Africa again, I will rent a car with SA Car Rental”
— Octavio Urbina, Santiago, Chile
“To summarize my experience with the service that your company provided, I can just say: ” I definitely will make use of SA Car Rental’s services whenever I will visit South Africa again.” Your internet service as well as personal attendance, was really professional and of a very high standard and your feedback/reply on my requests and concerns via e-mail, was excellent.

— Dirk Van Der Merwe, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Keep it up.”
— Robin Maarman, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
“I work outside SA and have done for 6 years although I am a resident and return about 5 times per year on rotational leave. When I knew I was returning to SA in September I needed vehicles to hire and saw your advert on News24 website and booked on the Internet accordingly. I hired in JHB, then CT then back in JHB, three different rentals. I found the service very good, efficient and the condition of the vehicle good and clean. I had reason to change two of the rental pick up and return dates as I shortened my stay in CT and the change was carried out efficiently and with no fuss at all. I have received my three statements via e-mail and all are correct. Thank you for your service and I will definitely use SA Car Rental First car rental on my return to SA.”
— Gordon Marshall, Indonesia
“I must say that I was very impressed with SA Car Rental. My travel arrangements often change at the last minute and I was able, every time, to simply click on a link in the email confirmation that I’d received, make the changes on-line any time of night or day, and even when the change was made one day before, the vehicle I needed was available the next day. The rates were always very competitive and the unlimited kilometres did it for me every time! I’m a budget conscious traveller and I hat having to consider carefully whether or not I have enough km’s left to make a quick detour when there is a place I want to see.”
— Ashton Fourie, Zhang Zhou City, Fujian Province, China
“On arrival in a very wet Capetown, early the morning we were received very friendly, documentation at a ready, and the person escorting us to the vehicle was very patient since we still had internet connection arrangements to do, while it was still raining he was ready with his umbrella to inspect the car, the car was in clean excellent condition. Many thanks to your personnel at your Cape town office.”
— Hendrik Kruger, Dukhan, Qatar

We chose SA Car Rental because they offered the best value for money in terms of km (unlimited) and coverage (comprehensive).”
— Lynn Mollison, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

— Sunil Parbhoo, Dubai, UAE
“Hi SA Car Rental,
We found that hiring a car through SA Car Rental was hassle free from the original on line booking, to taking delivery of the car which was ready for us and dropping the car off at the end of our visit. The sales consultant was friendly and efficient, and there were no nasty surprises when the billing was done. Our son is at UCT in Cape Town, and we will certainly make use of your services on our next visit to him.”
— Regards, Gayle Bell, Gaborone, Botswana

After the flight, waiting ages for our luggage and having to navigate the airport with two tired children, I was not in the mood for another long wait. We came to the First Select counter and was helped immediately, signed some forms, was escourted to our car and out of there in two shakes. Returning the car is ever easier, just park and hand over the keys! I will never drive to Cape Town again!! From booking on SA Car Rental’s website to receiving and returning the car, life could not be easier!!”
— Samantha Coetzee, Centurion
“My experience on my Cape Holiday in March 2010 was fantastic. From the moment I contacted them on SA Car Rental’s website it was not just the quick confirmation but the fact that the km. was unlimited already put me in a holiday mood. We arrived in Cape Town by train and since your office is walking distance from the station it didn’t take long to receive the keys for our car (Chevy Spark). As clean as a whistle and billed faultlessly and hassle free. Keep it up !! I will definitely make use of your services in future.”

“Prior to us arriving in South Africa we decided we would need a vehicle to get around. We had various options; we could hire a vehicle or purchase one & give it to a nephew or niece who would need a car shortly. We decided to hire a vehicle as we did not want a situation to arise in South Africa where we were stuck on the side of the road without any assistance & without a car to undertake our holiday. The search then began to find a car to hire. After checking out numerous car hire companies we decided to go with SA Car Rental and the deal that they were able to offer which met all of our needs. I have to admit I was not sure what I would find when we arrived in South Africa but can say that my fears were all unfounded as we had a brilliant holiday in South Africa. We travelled about 8000km around South Africa and had absolutely no issues with the car we hired. We had brilliant service from our initial contact, throughout our holiday & after we had returned to New Zealand. I would definitely recommend & make use of the services again. Both my wife & I were very happy with the vehicle.”
— Creag McLaren, now living in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
“Our whole experience dealing with SA Car Rental and First Car Rental was amazing. Since we got off the plane, everything fell in place. We were escorted to the nearest First Car reception area, where our key was waiting to be picked up. Within 10 minutes of landing, we were in the car and on our way. The unlimited km’s plan was a bonus, since we were travelling from George to Cape Town. This meant we could see all the beauty our country has to offer, without worrying about the total km’s we were driving. Plus, we got +- 15km per liter. That made it so much easier for us, especially since we were driving almost everywhere. We saved so much petrol with the car, by getting the extra km’s per tank. This made our experience so much more enjoyable. Me and my better half got engaged on the plane toward George, and when we saw the car, we knew this vacation will only get better. When we got back at Cape Town Airport to return the car, we were helped within minutes. And within 2 days, our deposit was repaid, and we did’t have a single problem with our bill. Everything was just perfect. Thank you very much SA Car Rental”
— Stefan Boshoff
“My first visit to South Africa in March this year was greatly enhanced by the excellent service provided by your company. After reading everything I could to select a Car Hire company I chose SA Car Rental. The online process to reserve a car was so easy and, all the terms and conditions were clear and easy to understand. SA Car Rental were also the best value of all the companies I looked at and, the unlimited Km deal was super. I chose to collect my hire car via the office in Downtown Cape Town, the office was easy to find and the staff and car were ready for me. My car, which was spotless, was almost new, and was ready for collection as arranged, after completeing the necessary paperwork I was on my way quickly. The branch staff were first class. Throughout the two weeks that I used the car it performed perfectly and, on my return to the branch at the end of my tour, the proceedure to accept the returning car was equally speedy and efficient. The account was correct in every aspect and even the charge for the final top-up of fuel was spot on. With other companies I have frequently found this item to be a real problem with overcharging.. Not so with SA Car Rental I can say that this item, as with everything else was absolutely correct. Thank you SA Car Rental for your excellent service, I will have no hesitation in using your company again on my next trip and I have no hesitation in recommending you without reserve.”
— Philip Unsworth, Manchester, UK
“Living in Australia and not having any family or friends available to us in Cape Town made hiring a motor vehicle for our stay very difficult. I am a member of an online African aviation website and one of the adverts available was for SA Car Rental. Following this link I found an easy to use website with rates (which for an Australian were VERY reasonable!!) well laid out. I booked the motor vehicle many months before travelling and was not expected to pay anything up front. On arriving in Cape Town at 9 o’clock at night a short walk took me to the office where all my paperwork was waiting and within five minutes I was driving out of the airport in a clean, well presented vehicle. As I have some problems with my knee a normal sedan causes my knee to ache after only a short while behind the wheel so I tend to drive a larger vehicle. I was expecting a Nissan X-Trail and was pleasantly surprised to receive a Honda C-RV in the same category. The car was clean, full of fuel and an absolute dream to drive. Dropping the vehicle off at the airport we were met immediately and a rapid inspection allowed us to be on our way to the check in counter within a few minutes. At all times the service was courteous and friendly and I would recommend SA Car Rental to any person.”
— Alex Buchan, Perth, Western Australia
“I had a very positive experience dealing with Ian Gouws and managed to organise a quote effortlessly via e-mail. I managed to confirm my booking telephonically 2 or 3 times between the time I made the booking and up and till the time I went to fetch the vehicle and each time I had a positive experience. The collection and return of the vehicle also went down without a hitch and the consultants at the OR Tambo office were very helpful and kind. The unlimited km’s offer was definitely one of the reasons why we chose your service above many others because it worked out much cheaper! We were billed correctly and the moneys deposited, invoiced and returned agreed to all our invoices and slips. I would surely recommend SA Car Rental to anyone.”
— Simon Tait, Johannesburg, South Africa
Willem Roets, Cape Town
