South African power adapter

Does any body have a picture of the correct adapter for South Africa. The last trip I took to France, I have the wrong adapter.

Thanks,

The pins on that thing are really huge. I think they use a rather unique standard, so I did not have it on my travel kit.
I found a shop that sells such adapter during transit at Johannesburgh airport. I do not remember the price, but it was cheap.

Looking at it. It looks like the old British round pin plug.

Thanks,

this is the problem that I ran into going to France. i had the correct adaptor, but it was not shaped correctly to fit most plugs.

There are two European plugs - the French and Belgians use one that nobody else does. There is a universal plug that'll fit them all though.

It is the same setup as the British plug, except that one has flat prongs, while this one is round. Its also used in Namibia, which makes sense since that was a SA Protectorate prior to independence.

Probably can't find this here in the states, but it should be readily available when you get there, even at the airport.

Good luck,
