2 cases of South African women - seems both are teachers. They have been told at the local visa office in Shanghai + Beijing that they need to go to Hong Kong to get a visa extension. It seems not any info about the "33 country list" (South Africa is one) given to them in Shanghai + Beijing and that these nationals need to apply now in their home country.
Cheap trick: Let them go first to HK - then let them find out the truth themselves. At least they are "out" + most of them wont make it back too easily as they first need to go back home to get a "new china visa". Cheers !

HK perm resident here - urgently need to go to Guangdong - also to Anhui several times now in May and June - my visa expires the next days - what can I do now - it seems so troublesome.
So if this info on this government page is correct:
. Foreigners with Hong Kong permanent resident status
(1) Foreigners with Hong Kong permanent resident status can apply for "L" or "F" multiple visa valid for one to three years by providing personal Hong Kong Permanent Identification Card, as well as a copy of the said ID card.
Then NO problem - Huh ?
