Suppressors prohibited for temporary import into South Africa?

Hell Folks
Looking for some advice as I wanted to carry my suppressor for my upcoming hunt to RSA in next few months, looking at some options to get my rifle permit etc, came to find out suppressors are banned in RSA for hunting purposes too.

Looking for some advice as this will be my first time trying to take it there for my wife to use it for our hunt. As I know a lot of you folks have traveled with them there.

Do you back off to minimum or do you have a safe percentage from maximum where it is OK to load and then use a chronograph to check ?

When did you first truly awake to “The Horn of the Hunter”?

This is not a question of “When did you start hunting?”, but rather, when did you respond to the hunt, or hunting, in the way Robert Ruark described it in The Horn of the Hunter. As he put it:

The hunter’s horn sounds early for some, I thought, later for others. For some unfortunates, prisoned by city sidewalks and sentenced to a cement jungle more horrifying than anything to be found in Tanganyika, the horn of the hunter never winds at all. But deep in the guts of most men is...
