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.

BH
