Ex wife stopping me taking kids to my country on holiday

Hi guys
I would be grateful for advice on how to proceed. My ex wife and I were married and had our divorce wasn't messy and I basically just signed the form saying I agreed to the divorce and the kids would live with her. I am on the birth certificate of our kids and I get them every Friday night. Now the kids are old enough I feel they are ready for me to take them to South Africa to meet my family and ex wife is refusing and says I can't and she thinks if we go to court I am sure to lose. I have always paid my share towards their upkeep.

Legally speaking what can I do and is it possible to get legal aid for this sort of thing and realistically what are my chances in court. The kids are dying to go but she fills their heads with idea that only she has power to decide. Surely this can't be right. She says her worry is I wouldn't bring them back and that's utter nonsense

Please help. Thanks in advance
