What else can I do about my refund that has not been paid to me even after an escalation has been done? I was on audit as usual but summited everything as normal. I recieved no feed back as I let SARS have their 21 days which then turnes out to be 30 days waitn. I have now escalated it but still no info with regards to my refund been held back.

Did SARS say what the reason for the delay was or if they had moved to the next round of audit?

The last correspondence I received from SARS was just that I am on audit and I need to summit my stuff which I did as per normal. And it has been silent since that 1st notice.
