What socket types are in South Africa?
For South Africa, there are four associated plug types, types C, D, M, and N. Plug type C is the plug that has two round pins, plug type D is the plug that has three round pins in a triangular pattern, and plug types M and N both have three round pins. South Africa operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz.

In South Africa, the standard voltage is 230 V. The standard frequency is 50 Hz. The power sockets that are used are of type C / D / M / N.
What are the new SA sockets?
By law, all new buildings have to be fitted with SANS 164-2 sockets. These sockets can also include the old three-pin plugs, but they must include the new SANS 164-2 plugs too, and may have switches.
Why does South Africa use the 3-pin plug?
While European two-pin plugs can be used with the new system, South Africa is sticking to three pins. The third pin is an earth pin designed to protect the users from electric shock, Isaac Malapela, business specialist at National Regulator for Compulsory Specification, told Business Insider SA.
