Unfortunately, The cape archives are a bit of a problem, however for the other archives the eGSSA are very helpful. The below from their website:
Archive Documents Photographs
Written by eGGSA on 31 March 2017.
We can obtain copies of documents from the South African Archives repositories at Pietermaritzburg (NAB) for Natal, Durban (TBD), Bloemfontein (VAB) for the Orange Free State and Pretoria (TAB) for the Transvaal.
The references and details as given in the NAAIRS online index must be provided.
NB. We cannot obtain document copies from the The Cape Town Archives Repository (KAB) which has banned mechanical copying by any means of documents in their care.
We understand they will offer a copying service themselves.
Nor can we obtain documents from any other South African repository.
This is a photographic service, not a research service.
