Who can translate my documents into English for me?

Source: SAMI, 21/02/2018

Any document in a language other than English must be accompanied by a
certified English translation.
A translator in South Africa must be accredited as a Registered Sworn
Translator of the High Court of South Africa / The South African
Translatorsâ€™ Institute (SATI) for Translators and Interpreters.
A translator outside South Africa does not need to be accredited, but
they must endorse the translation with their full name, address,
telephone number, and details of their qualifications and experience in
the language being translated.
