Validity Zimbabwe License

Question

I am aware that using a licence from Zimbabwe on the SA roads is legal. I am a holder of a Zimbabwean drivers licence and am currently waiting for the metal disc to be out thus currently I have the paper version complete with the licence number. I havent driven on the SA roads yet but my studies requires that I start doing so. I just want to confirm that I can drive legally on the roads with my licence and passport until the metal disc Is out so that I am not caught on the wrongside of the law. I am also aware that it takes some time for the SA disc to be issued and drivers can use the paper version, does also apply to my situation. Thanks!

Answer

The Zimbabwean paper licence will be valid as long it has not expired, it is English and has photo and signature of the holder on it.
