The mixture of Chlor and hydrxide (alkali, OH- from caustic soda, lye, NaOH) reacts to formation of NaOCl and NaCl.
Cl2 + 2OH- --> OCl- + Cl- + H2O
This is probably what is meant by 'chlor-alkali', nothing else than bleach (3-6% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO))

Where do one find chlor alkali in south Africa?
Chloralkali is an industry, not something to be found in nature as the question seems to suggest, because the raw material is NaCl or table salt found in natural salt deposits and therefore in abundance in the sea, of course. Basically it means that electric currents are passed through salt dissolved in water (brine), which is then broken up into the gas chlorine as well as sodium hydroxide, also called caustic soda. These are valuable chemicals used in the manufacturing of many every-day items (plastics, soaps, antiseptics, paints, to name but a few). Walvisbay in Namibia is the main supplier of salt to the chloralkali industry based at Chloorkop in South Africa. Chloorkop is in the Gauteng province.
Is sodium hydroxide obtained from rock salt?
Sodium hydroxide is obtained from salt, yes. The manufacture of this strong base is accomplished mainly from what is termed the chloralkali process. This is the electrolysis of a salt solution which produces sodium hydroxide and also chlorine and hydrogen gas. It is an industrial process that is important to the chemical industry. A link follows.

Why is Runcorn the site of sodium hydroxide manufacture?
Near a port, near the Cheshire Salt mines, near heavy industry for electricity supply, near major centers of population for workers Sodium hydroxide is made by chloralkali electrolysis of sodium chloride, which is found in sea water. The River Mersey at Runcorn is esturine which gives a constant supply of salty water.
