I work online and would like to continue doing so from south africa, do I need to apply for work permits as well as residency permits, as I will still be working for a german firm on a german server, therefor working from Europe.
As obtaining a residency permit is easyer and much cheaper than a working permit the question is do I need to get one???

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I don't think you would (but this is my uneducated opinion) as the work permit is needed if you will be taking a position that could be filled by a South African and the wages you earn are from within South Africa and therefore income tax should be deducted.
To be honest if you went on a tourist visa - who's going to know you are working anyway? I'd just go and do it.
Are you only going for the short term? - The duration of the visitors visa or are you going to try and extend the visa while you are there?
