When I was there that sort of thing was easily found in the malls - air, the main difference is that South African plugs have round pins UK plugs have square pins. I may even have such an adaptor in the cellar - I'll try to remember to look today or tomorrow; I could easily post it to you if I have. It's more likely I have a SA to UK adaptor, however.

Otherwise, contact the person or hotel where you will be staying and ask them to get a couple in advance of your arriving. Voltage is the same, I think.

Yeah, the voltage is similar (and my laptop, which is the thing I want to plug in, seems happy to cope with a pretty wide range of voltages). Asking the hotel is a good idea; thanks.

For laptops, assuming the PSU has a "block" with a detachable kettle lead style flex that plugs into the mains, it's probably easier and cheaper to buy a flex once you're out there (what's the ZA equivalent of Maplin?). It certainly made things easier charging my MP3 player with a European flex rather than messing around with a UK->Europlug adaptor. Most PSUs are multi-voltage and take whatever you give them.
