Ownership rules for foreigners
Foreigners can own property directly in South Africa with no restrictions. However, holding through an offshore company simplifies estate planning, reduces estate duty exposure (up to 25%), and streamlines repatriation of sale proceeds.

Tax rates
Banking
Bank requires resident director (public officer - SA resident required for currency regulations). Usually one resident director suffices for compliance.
Non-resident accounts nominally possible but easier with local tax number and address.
