TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a visa at a consulate in South Africa, you are required to provide actual paid flight tickets, not just a booking. This includes submitting the PDF file of the tickets as proof, as you might also be asked for verification at immigration upon arrival.

You have to supply the actual pdf file of the tickets showing flights paid for . You can be asked again at immigration on arrival
