We’d like to share this reply from Tiger Brands to a member of this community –
(*please note that while the only commercially cultivated crops in South Africa are Maize, Soy & Cotton, this does not address other GMOs in imports, nor the trials of other crops going on in South Africa)

Good day xxxxxx,
Genetic modification of certain crops is permitted to ensure that the world is food secure. Genetic modification is stringently controlled by governments all over the world and at this point in time GM crops are safe for general consumption.
The high levels of food insecurity are both an international and domestic concern. The only crops that are allowed to be Genetically Modified in South Africa are maize, soya beans and cotton.
