Foreign Income

I'm currently staying in South Africa. I receive income from foreigners, for hunting trips outside of SA borders. I'm usually out of the country for a week or two at a time. Is this income I'm earning taxable in SA?

If you're outside SA for longer than 183 days of which 60 days of those are continuous then this income, for now, would be exempt form SA tax. Otherwise unfortunately you would be taxed on all your income around the world.
