After obtaining that document, the foreign party must have the document apostatized (Apostille) by taking the document to a notary, who will then Notarize the document, and then approaching the department in his or her country that deals with and provides the Apostille service. Once the document has been Notarized and Apostatized, the document must then be taken to the South African Embassy or High Commission in that country for verification. If any of these steps are skipped then the marriage / civil union will not be registered legally.
