How long after submitting supporting documents should you get your refund?

My tax return is done by a tax consultant. He's been doing my tax for years without any problems. This year he submitted my tax return, and informed me that SARS asked for supporting documents. I only have my IRP5, RA and one income protection policy (that I am not even sure makes a difference). All this was submitted last week, and I have not heard anything since. How long does it take on average to review these documents?

It can take SARS 21 working days to finalise an assessment. You will receive a completion letter from SARS once this is done.
