About South Africa's Power System
South Africa uses 230V at 50Hz. The country uses these plug types: Type M and Type N.
Note: Most modern devices (laptops, phones, chargers) support 100-240V dual voltage, so they will work in South Africa without a transformer. However, you may still need a plug adapter.
