Passport Timeline???

[Dagomako]

What is the time line on getting a new passport now a days? Im going to South Africa later this year for 3 months, Johannesburg to be exact and i was just curious how long it would take to get one. Anyone been there? got any good spots to check or any cool areas to explore?

it should be printed on your passport, but I believe its 10 years.

It looks like more than 4 weeks unless you submit for expediting your passport (extra cost) and then it's 3 weeks total.
