Well done! Glad to hear you put last time behind you and have gone on to pass. Did everything go to plan, or were there some minor hiccups?
Although the CAA probably won't rush through your licence issue, it's always worth a go. If it's easy enough for you to get to their office, go on down, and see what you can do. Keep asking to speak to people's managers, take your SA flight tickets if you have them, to prove the date etc.
Good luck
