SARS refunds then reverses transaction and sets a new refund date. Help?

I submitted my tax return via efiling on 01 July. I was as per usual selected for audit. I received an initial assessment and upon submitting my supporting documents they obviously decided to disallow some of my medical expenses.

They then issued a revised assessment which reflected R5500 lower owing to me. I called the call centre and was told that my file was finalised and I could expect a refund date by yesterday 06/07/15.

I drew a statement of account yesterday and it showed a refund date of today 7th. Didn't receive a refund so drew another statement of account today and it shows refund reversed with todays date but shows a refund date of tomorrow. I called the call centre and the agent indicated that there is nothing irregular or outstanding on their system and that it is out for refund tomorrow.

Need I be worried? Could there be another reason for this?
