ππ° Hong Kong to πΏπ¦ South AfricaNope, your plugs won't fit. But an adapter will.
South Africa uses 230 V and Hong Kong uses 220 V, but similar nominal voltages do not guarantee compatibility. Check that your device's input rating covers the destination supply.
What to pack
Plugbert recommends
Type C (Europlug) adapter
You need a plug adapter. Plugs from Hong Kong (Type G) don't fit the Type C, D, M and N sockets in South Africa. A Type C (Europlug) adapter fits 2 of the 4 listed socket families there. For grounded devices, get a Type D (Indian 3-pin) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet instead; it does not fit every listed outlet. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.
For equipment requiring earth, choose a Type D (Indian 3-pin) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet. Check its supported inputs and rated load. A two-pin output cannot provide an earth connection.
Tip: a "universal" travel adapter may be useful for several destinations. Check its wall-side plugs, grounding and power limits against your trip.
