Answer
Hi Sadi

This information looks as little out of date but you do qualify for what they call a spousal permit. You can find details on it here http://www.intergate-immigration.com/spousal-permits-visa-immigration-south-afri...

The spousal permit can be endorsed to allow you to work, run a business or indeed study. They are normally issued for around 3 years.

If you want some professional guidance try bjorn@intergate-immigration.com.

Hope this helps
