Yes. Both countries use almost the identical electical electrical systems. The voltage from both an Australian and South Africa outlet can vary from 220v-250volts depending on distance from transformer and current load on the line.

The power available at a wall socket is 220 - 230 Volts AC. This is compatible with most of the world except those areas of the USA that use 110 Volts.

Adapters are available to convert the 220V to 110V.

The standard wall socket is unusual being three large round pins that will supply 15 Amps. The cheapest, quickest solution is to replace the plug on your appliance, but you need to be vaguely techie to do this.

Otherwise you will need to buy an adapter plug. USA to SA adapters are less readily found than Euro adapters. Euro adapters are common so sometimes chaining a USA adapter onto a Euro adapter is the quickest solution.
