Hi,
From a South Africa official site
Tourists to South Africa should be aware that:
- The South African electricity supply is 220/230 volts AC 50 HZ.
- Most plugs are 15 amp 3-prong or 5 amp 2-prong, with round pins. If an adaptor is called for, consider bringing one with you, although they can be purchased locally.
- US-made appliances may need a transformer.
- Most hotel rooms have 110 volt outlets for electric shavers and appliances

Your charger should accomodate for voltages from 110V to 240V. All you need is a tourist adapter , no need a converter. But to be sure, you can turn the charger up-side-down to see the label.
Regards.
