Getting mixed answers on bringing ammo into South Africa

[DLSJR]

The OP’s question is one of the reasons I use Shawn Kennedy of Gracy Travel. I recently traveled through JNB on my way to Zimbabwe. I took my 375 & 416, with ammo for each, BUT I also took some 12 gauge ammo withbringing a shotgun. I asked Shawn if this was allowed and she told me that as long as the ammo was listed on a 4457, I could get it on mySAPS form and bring it. So when I sent to get updated 4457’s for my guns, I also had one for the ammo I was taking. It included the shotgun shells. That was all documented on my SAPS and I sailed through Jo’burg with no issues whatsoever. Bruce from Gracy Travel sheparded me through the airport process and everything went smoothly. Very smoothly.
