Hi Alton,

Maybe someone will have an answer about finding the credential in Jo'burg (not sure if there's a CSJ office there), but to be honest most people just get their credential when they arrive in France or Spain: you can get one pretty easily from the church, tourist/camino office, or even the hostel, for a couple of Euros.

Otherwise the Confraternity of St James in Cape Town can send you one for R70 (you first need to become a member for R40): http://www.csjofsa.za.org/documents/pilgrim_passport.php

(Feel free to send me a personal message if you need any more info!)

Janice.

The South African group is one of the most active and organized.
They can help you with every aspect of your Camino. A great group of new and experienced Pilgrims.
Hopefully one of the members will reply to you here in this thread.

Hi Alton, I attended one of the Confraternity's workshops at the Botanical Gardens in Pretoria, and bought a credential there. They did not ask that I become a member. It's a really nice credential, with many pages, so you can collect LOTS of interesting stamps along the Way! Jill
