Should have refused the vehicle. I would be wanting them replaced under warranty and all rust cleaned up. Not sure what consumer law is like in SA but here you would be n a good position.
If you have drawn it to their attention and it has not been fixed they need to replace the vehicle. Idea

At this rate we should be asking for a new vehicle , all we have wanted from day one is for the shafts to be replaced .

Only surface rust but should never have been sold in that condition. Is there rust elsewhere?
