I don't understand your Q!

 

1. You are Somali, who's trying to get Chinese visa in S. African Embassy?

2. You hold S. African passport, and try to get teaching job in China?

 

If no. 1: You could get more info about Chinese visas at Chinese Embassy in S. Africa, or google 'Chinese Embassy in Hong Kong'.

 

If no. 2: If you are looking for teaching job in China, you should make ready your CV, and attach all necessary credentials to it.

You'll need BA, TESOL or TEFL certificate, 2 years working experience as English teacher in China (preferably) or somewhere else, photo page of your passport. You can also add some photos in the classroom with students, if you have any.

 

Don't wait for Schools replies! Just keep sending your CV daily to job openings!

 

Chinese are racists. Schools in China prefer Caucasian teacher over black or dark skinned teacher. Chinese schools don't like Native English Asian teachers, either.

 

If you are one of 'not preferred skin color', doesn't matter. There are long time posters here, who are black English teachers in China.

 

You'll just probably need to work harder to get position. Send your CV daily to Schools in China. There is 'Jobs' classified section on the top R side of the screen.

You can also try Public Schools in China from the web link below. Change 'Province' and 'keyword' for the level of School, you are interested in. These Schools are authorized to hire foreigners in China.

Good luck!

And holding a South Africa passport makes you South African?

Somalian with a South African Passport? I would suggest you stop trying. Sorry but it's not worth your time and troubles.
