New South African plug standard is mandatory for new installations
South Africa’s new plug and socket standard, SANS 164-2 or ZA Plug, has become mandatory for new installations, the SABS confirmed. This means that any new buildings erected must incorporate electrical sockets that conform to the new standard.
The ZA Plug has the same hexagonal profile as the Europlug seen on cellphone chargers, but includes an earth pin.
And this is really good news as these plugs are way more compact than the old plugs
