Refund process slow after audit

I submitted my Personal income along with all other docs to SARS, I was to receive a refund. The following day I received a letter to be Audited. We submitted all relevant docs to SARS for the audit process.

When we looked on my status it said 1 August the audit will be done, but underneath it was still marked YES for audit and that was on 3rd of August. My tax consultant called SARS and they said that there is a block that needs to be removed and they will call back.

What is this "Block" and how long will it take to remove?? Will I get refunded when the block is removed???

The block is on the payment and could take a few more weeks to be removed, but you will be refunded most certainly.
