I got this information from an internet news site, with the link below. I think it helps to answer your question and deals with a new immigration law that is being reviewed.

The new regulations under the Immigration Act were roundly criticised at the time they were drawn up as favouring the very rich. Stipulations include that:


-------------------
Foreign visitors wishing to stay for more than three months would have to prove they had a monthly income of at least R20 000. They would also need visas.


Foreign pensioners applying for permanent residence would have to prove that their estates were worth R15 million and that their income was at least R25 000 a month.


Foreign nationals wishing to obtain permanent residence would have to prove that they had a net worth of R15m and would have to pay R100 000 to the government.
