Check South Africa's entry requirements.

Do NOT get a new passport. Travelling on your passport means you are availing yourself of the protection of your country and therefore are not a genuine claimant.

If you are from SA don't go to SA.

Here's the guidelines to apply for SA visitor's visa from Canada. If you are South African citizen please don't visit it all.

Below is my email replied by High Commission of South Africa in Ottawa:

If you are a holder of a Canadian Travel Document, you will need to apply for a Visitor's Visa before you travel to South Africa.

Please click on the links below for information regarding South African Visitor's Visa.
