Even here at the HUBB, there´s been some contradicting information about whether or not South Africa REQUIRES the carnet. ADAC´s webpage does show the South African Customs Union as requiring it, like Egypt and Sudan?
But in general: if the bikes were temporarily imported into a carnet country using a carnet, then I think it´s pretty clear, that they should leave within the time limit specified by the authorities, or else the taxes & duties have to be payed. And your carnet bond will not be returned, if you sell the vehicle in a carnet country.
