Ask the embassy that issued your visa!

This website would not exist if it were that easy to get this kind of information from embassies.

Perhaps also check with the airline you are travelling on as they are responsible for ensuring you have the correct visa and travel arrangements.

My wife is traveling with me and she is not there. Only my in-laws are there so don't think I can get a family reunification visa? Is that correct

I am not sure on that, I would recommend checking with the German Consulate in South Africa. Also have your inlaws contact the local 'Ausländeramt' and see what documents they want.

All my documents were pre-approved in Germany before I came over, I am not sure if this is a norm or not, but ask your in laws if they can check.
