Here's an old article I found ("Caprification of Smyrna Figs") in the South African Agricultural Journal, published some time in 1911(?):

The article can be downloaded as a 10 page PDF from this link.
See page 254:
"...
On hearing of the success in California, the Cape Department of Agriculture was not long in getting an importation of trees direct from Mr Geo. C Roeding, which consisted of a parcel of 140 Smyrna and Capri trees of different varieties (Calimyrna, Kassaba and Bardacik, mostly Calimyrna, and Capri's No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, which three varieties keep on them figs all the year round. This was in 1902/03.
Two lots went to Constantia District, one to Elsenburg, and one to Grahamstown.
In July 1907, Mr Lounsbury, then Chief Government Entomologist of the Cape, but now Chief Entomologist of the Union, was in America, and as both our Capri and Calimyrna had reached fruiting stage, he arranged to have some of the Blastophaga sent on at the right season. In November 1907, Mr Mally, Assistant Government Entomologist (Cape), on his return from California, got four twigs of Capri from Mr Roeding with fruit containing wasps. They were wrapped in damp moss and kept chilled until landing on 4th January 1908.

It's not clear who or what in Grahamstown received the "one lot" (presumably about 35) of smyrna and capri fig trees imported from the USA, let alone what happened to them? Clearly the fig wasp could have been introduced at any time after the Grahamstown trees were established. I suppose evidence is that the fig wasp still seems to be around, more than a century after all these happenings, even though wild (or cultivated) caprifigs aren't obviously visible around town...
The article also gives a useful table of the observed emergence of the wasps at Elsenburg, but it's not specified for which variety of caprifig:
1st crop Profichi Enter 2nd week of September
Emerge 2nd week of January 4 months
2nd crop Mammoni Enter 2nd week of January
Emerge 2nd week of March 2 months
3rd crop Mammae Enter 2nd week of March
Emerge 2nd week of September 6 months
[12 months]
Presumably there's a time spread of emergence according to the variety of caprifig?
The Smyrna or San Pedro type figs will need to be receptive during the wasp emergence.
It's not clear if this 12 month cycle involves all 3 types of caprifig, or whether one fig type will sustain the wasp lifecycle?
[Please, if anyone has more information or references, leave a comment?]
