Can south African modern orthodox Jews appear to live the same as reformed Jews in the states?
In South Africa, like most countries aside from the USA and the UK, the Jewish communities are overwhelmingly Orthodox. Whether or not a person who attends an Orthodox Synagogue is Orthodox in his "non-synagogue activities" is purely up to the believer. So, some members of the Orthodox community may not actually be observant Jews and would appear like Reform Jews in the USA. However, they would not call themselves Orthodox, but Jews who happen to belong to an Orthodox synagogue. Actual Orthodox Jews in South Africa would be indistinguishable from Orthodox Jews in the USA.

What makes a Jew 'Modern Orthodox'?
Modern Orthodox Jews consider themselves bound by the 613 commandments in the Torah as understood by the unbroken rabbinical tradition from biblical times to the present.

Where Hassidic Jews dress very distinctively and frequently minimize their contact with the secular community, modern Orthodox Jews are likely to blend into a crowd, with perhaps only a kippah (yarmulke) identifying them as Jews. Where Hassidic Jews view a yeshiva education as normal, Modern Orthodox Jews go to universities and graduate programs -- although significant numbers attend Yeshiva University, an Orthodox university.
