Hey Tim I did my tax return and got a message says - minus an amount does that mean SARS needs to refund me?

Yes, a negative number indicates that a refund is due.
Were you asked to submit supporting documents?

It only stated that I need to log in which I did and then go to the SARS corresponding page and from there I don't know where to go, I can't see anything..

I was told that I still missed a few IRP5 from 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2014 but the reception lady told me is has been destroyed - now what can I do? They told me as a last resort I need to get a avidavid.

Yes, you would need to go into a police station and swear and affidavit stating that you could not get these documents. However the employer has a duty to keep these records.
