If you don't care about the laws in South Africa that's fine but they are too big to risk that.

You're acting like hiring a local firm for a few hours to advise on this is somehow constricting. Its not.

Hiring in other locales is a perceived difficulty. Not a reality.

Establishing a registered entity to employ in a foreign country is not a few hours advice. It is difficult, expensive and time consuming.
