Can I work remotely from South Africa for a UK company?

Do not assume that visitor status permits remote work. Work performed physically in South Africa can create immigration, personal-tax, social-security, employment and employer obligations even when the company and payment are in the UK. Confirm the current immigration route and obtain coordinated advice before starting work there.
