Very simple and straight forward.

If you are as you say, daul national UK/SA then the following rules apply, you have to use your SA passport to enter and depart from SA. As such you are then SA and the question of permission to work in SA does not even warrant a question.
Finally in terms of Nationality this is a life time commitment not something you renew or drop at a hat.This is of course assuming you have applied
for permission from SA to be a daul national, otherwise they will strip you of your SA nationality, in which case you have no rights in SA :lol:

Repse,
As law stands re: SA daul nationality, if you applied for permission for daul nationality and it was granted, then you must enter and depart SA on your SA passport, failing to do so will result in you being striped of your SA nationality, end of!
Ignorance of the law id no excuse, sorry!

I know it by law that i must use a SA Passport to Enter and Exit the country. If i get my SA passport in South Africa on my Britsh Vistor passport will i be able to stay in SA and work ?

What would i have to do to remove the 3 month permit on my britsh passport ?

Repse, Repse, you seem to be a law unto yourself, don't you understand the gravity of your position you yourself have placed yourself in.
By not abiding to the law, it is more than likely that you have aready been stripped of your SA nationality.
