New Visa requirements for South African nationals visiting the UK
With effect from Tuesday 03 March, South African passport holders will require a visa in order to visit or transit the United Kingdom. However, until mid-2009, South African nationals who have previously travelled to the UK on their current passport will be exempt from the visa requirement. This decision follows a global review of the UK’s pre-entry immigration controls and reflects the UK government’s commitment to strengthen its borders.

If you are going over to work you need a work permit, in order to get a work permit you need work. This is a catch 22 situation. The working holiday visa is a thing of the past.

Good day
You need to apply for a visa, everytime you visit the UK you must have a valid visa.
