When we went to Zim last year, we made use of the service offered by PHASA for dealing with the firearms stuff at J'burg. It was a very good choice, my brothers rifle was temporarily misplaced. The PHASA people told us to sit and they would take care of it. They did a wonderful job, it saved us having to use the folding interpreter service and the hassle that goes with it. I wish I'd had them in 05 when I almost didn't get out of RSA because some dear sole had pocketed the fee I paid and there was no record of me taking the rifle out of the strong room. It was very concerning for a while.

Sorry for the minor hi-jack
