Non Payment!
We are struggling with payments from AIRBNB, and it seems like other properties in South Africa experiences the same. They keep pushing the payment dates forward, is anyone else experiencing the same? Speaking to support does not help.

As far as I can see in the community center, there doesn't seem to be an issue for hosts who host as individuals and who get paid into their personal bank accounts.
It looks like there are a handful of people struggling to get money paid into company bank accounts, and quite a few who have serious issues getting money paid into South African trust accounts (probably more so due to the grey listing).
I'm not sure which category you fall into, but the know-your-client issues with trusts can be difficult. It would be less complicated (and easier for vetting by Airbnb) to host in a real person's name and have the money paid into the South African bank account of the individual, who signs a lease with the trust and then pays the money over to the trust.
If you're already hosting as an individual (I can't see a listing on your profile?) then delayed payments can be because of an investigation into your listing (for example, if a guest made a privacy complaint). I think this is a less likely - if you're hosting as a non-natural person, know-your-client is most likely the problem. Sorry that I don't have a quick fix for you to get the money paid right away!
