If you entered SA by air, i am wondering how you were not stamped in.
However, if there is a way to check your entry and exit from SA electronically, just like the I94 electronic system the US uses, then dont be worried about physical stamp.
In the alternative, if you have your boarding pass to SA, use it.
Again, the way you've explained it to us here you can explain it in a LOE.

Good morning my people, please I have a concern regards my travel history.
I travelled to South Africa on a company sponsored training. Being my first time of travelling out of Nigeria I didn't know I had to report at the immigration desk in South Africa so my international passport was not stamped at the point of entry.
When I was leaving, I was stamped out. The South African immigration raised hell when I was leaving their country. The Nigerian stamp is complete (2).

The issue now is that I have just one stamp for South Africa instead of two. Do you think the VO will raise an issue on the stamp? I am an accompanying spouse

Morning everyone,
And so it happened that I travelled down with my family to children's practice Lagos yesterday for my medicals. Got in around 8.40am and approached the receptionist on how to go about my medicals. The lady snubbed me for over 30mins. When she finally responded, she said "Oga, am full for the day". I didn't understand her and I asked "Hello ma, please what do you mean u r full for the day? ". She ignored me again. I called out to another staff and explained my plight, she told me "Sir, we only attend to 40 people a day and u need to come in as early 6am to put down ur name, dis list get filled even before 7am. You will need to come back very early tomorrow, please get a hotel close by and lodge. I was dazed. I drew their attention to the fact that I called to make enquiries the day before and nobody told me to come 6am. I was told to be there between 8am and 10am. How come u r now giving me dis 6am story. Most painful was the fact that I came in from outside Lagos and had a 2weeks old baby with me and an aged mother. Some other clients in my shoes who were also forced to pass the night in lagos came to pacify me and advised that I come back tomorrow(wasn't sure if they were sincerely concerned or protecting their selfish interest). I decided to take a chill and went to sit down. I sat till 1pm and it was obvious dey weren't gonna shift grounds. It's time to raise the roof, this is bull crap. I went into the main building screaming and everyone was like "Oga what's the problem". I quietly explained my plight and that was it. I was given a teller to go and make payment and was able to get the medicals done, concluded everything around 4pm. Believe me, they still refused to attend to every other person who didn't make the first 40 man list. I was only fortunate because of my 2weeks old baby. I don't know if this has been the situation all along in children's practice or there is just a sudden surge in Canadian PR medical clients. Whatever the situation is, this is just to give someone an handy info, lest you get disappointed when you get there.

What if 40 persons had come before 6am? Who will they turn back?
As all things Nigeria, we must struggle to get everything done. Even with your money you will beg to get medical test done?
Thank God you finally did your medicals. At least, it is a matter of months you'll be out of this shithole.

From the look of things, the list certainly got filled before 7am yesterday. It's a serious shithole..... The drama wasn't any different from what we suffer with Immigration for passport and our universities for transcript.

Thanks for response.

As painful as it is, PCC is ₦10k flat without receipt. They say it's official price, I say it's organised crime.
