You should not travel to the UK without a valid visa. If you do, you run the risk of being refused entry. The law says that you need a valid visa or permission to enter. If you are going to a country you should obey its laws.

It does not matter whether you get a new passport or not. Your being refused entry will be on record with the British immigration agency even if you show a new passport. Be aware that if you get a passport with a different name and try to use it to enter the UK you will be committing a criminal offence and would be liable to go to prison and be deported.

I think that maybe you were foolish to resign at work. You should not make plans to move until you have a valid visa in your hand.

I expect the immigration service were strict with you because unfortunately many people from around the world seem to think they can just pack their bags and move to Britain for a better life, but they don't bother getting permission first! Britain is not a theme park open to all. Many people overstay their short term or student visas and have to be deported.

Start your new life the right way - get your papers in order first!

Hello.

I'm no clearer on what the problem is with the British authorities than you are. You need specialist immigrant advice on your situation to fully understand what the problem is. Perhaps you could contact SA (or other) migrant services in London for information & advice? Or contact the SA embassy in London for support & advice. I'm sorry, I'm not a UK citizen. This is the best I can think of.

Good luck!
