First get a quote from another Bank. Approach your bond holder and re-negotiate a rate. There will be penalties to pay, but it may be cheaper than the registration fees on a new bond. If not, move to another bank.

If you give your present bondholder 3 months notice, these should not be any penalties but remember that there are costs involved to register a new bond. Get a quote from several conveyancers/lawyers and play the one against the other. This saved me +- R 7000 on a transfer and registration deal.
I would first try the re-negotiating route as suggested by Blurock

In your contract when can you re-mortgage? It may be 2 or 5 years from commencing.
