No luck for me It looks like they responded to everyone else same day. I tweeted yesterday - nothing then or today and tomorrow is a holiday (Happy Canada Day everyone )
Wait wait I lied! They didn't respond to me on twitter but we got the email this morning asking to send/bring in the passports! Check you junk mail!!!!!! I'm so curious if it was twitter that worked or not. It certainly seems that twitter was the way to go. Also in retrospect, we spent ages trying to get answers from the High Commission when really I wish we'd submitted through VAC, they are at least willing to say more than one word to you.
Anyway - I recommend everyone to try kindly pleading on twitter and giving them your application number. Seems to be working for everyone in this forum!
Good luck everyone! I'll let you know how long the passport takes (he is bringing it in in person).
Keep in mind the VAC is CLOSED on July 3rd (NOT 1st!!) for Canada Day.
Timeline:
Application: May 30

I did apply my visa on 14 -05-2015 on paper in personal,in Pretoria office , but I did not submitted my passport because I m live in neighbourhood country (swaziland ), even I did not send it by courier because I was thinking they would do request me send my passport after their decision .
Today I had live chat and also did call and e mail to vac office pretoria and they said to me your application will not be finalised until we get your passport .They said to me send your passport .
here is the e mail conversation .

Dear Applicant,
Thank you for writing to the Canada Visa Help Desk.
As per your conversation with Innocentia on the phone and on the live chat, you need to submit your passport.
