Will it work in South Africa with or without an adaptor plug?

I am not familiar with South Africa electrical needs. But googling what the plug looks like doesn't resemble anything on this adapter. Therefore, I would say no.

I'm pretty sure this device will not work in South Africa, but Amazon has a specific adapter for South Africa. Also, many hotels in South Africa have 110 plugs for American travelers.

It should work just fine with an adapter, or in a compatible socket. There is a switch to set the mains voltage that must match the local supply: 100-120 V, or 200-240 V.

I'm using it in the United States. I don't think it would work in a European plug without some type of adaptor.

no... it should work fine without any adapter. To be double sure you can ask the question in their forum.. they respond very quickly. http://zwoug.org/

Not too sure about Africa, but when we have traveled to Europe we would just need an adaptor to run any 12 volt charger that works on a 110 outlet.

Yes it works really well you only have to go and buy an adaptor for the overseas plugI have been using for a month and had no problem.Gillian

It does not accept Australian style plug. You will need adapter plug for it.

Yes, we used it in Australia and all over Europe. Yes, you do need an adapter plug. The prongs of the outlets are quite different. We found you often have to hold the curling iron upright ( in a vertical position) and hold the "on" button for a few seconds, but it does work. I have purchased two of these for other travel friends.

It would need an adapter for the plug since most countries use a different plug type than in the US. It would also need a power converter to change the voltage to 120V and would not work correctly without one.

Yea mine is a american outlet type plug so I doubt it will work without at least a adapter I would guess.

I use it in the US and everything I have used in the US I've been able to use when I travel in Canada as we have the same set up. Europe it wouldn't work without an adapter, but the US and Canada, yes, it works.

I have not used this in Africa but plan to use this in France in June. Dual voltage is important. I think it will work.

It has an American/Canadian style plug. If Australia uses the British or European style plugs then the answer is no, you will need an adapter. Unless it is available in different plug styles.

Pretty sure because in the instruction manual it says "When plugging in outside the USA use a plug adapter". So all you need is a plug adapter and it should work.

I can't give you that information from firsthand experience, but since it performed equally well in Zambia, Botswana and South Africa, I would expect that plug will also work well in Namibia. Worth googling to find out if Namibia and SA have the same plug configuration. Most resorts also feature multiple outlet power strips for visitors from abroad.

You need to get a universal plug adapter for Europe and it will be compatible.

I'm in South Africa with 220V 50hz. Works hundreds. Check the model spec though.
