  I am not able to find the exact TLD’s of your domain in the list of TLD’s which WordPress allow to support while transferring the domain. Here is the link for the support document:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/#which-tlds-extensions-can-i-transfer-to-wordpress-com

  I am also tagging this as ‘modlook’ for staff assistance. Please wait for some time they will get back to you with exact solution for your query.

  Hope this helps.

  Hi legewebsite,

  We are currently unable to accept incoming transfers for .co.za domains, only these extensions (minus a couple of exceptions @shubhamgmath linked to):

  Domain Pricing and Available TLDs

  The good news is, domains with that extension can be mapped to WordPress.com:

  I noticed you haven’t created a WordPress.com site yet, so that will be the first step in the process :)
