Also, both the IRP6 (provisional tax) and IT14 (tax return) provide specifically for PAYE deductions, so as long as you get IRP5, you're o.k. (apart from the timing of the cash-flow implications, obviously)
Strictly speaking the onus is on your client to ascertain your true status and not the other way round. However, to avoid the whole thing, you need to advise the client in writing of the following (if applicable of course):
1 - you do not receive more than 80% of your income from one specific client
2 - you employ 3 or more full-time employees and they are engaged on a full-time basis in the business of your company (i.e. not "moonlighting" for you)
3 - your employees are not relatives/connected persons/shareholders/members etc to you or your company.
4 - although your duties are (presumably?) performed at the premises of your client, they have no control/supervision as to the manner of how you perform your duties.
