Take one with you cause there have been a lot of fines lately for not being
able to show the International licence...

Hanswww.come-along.nl


http://www.sa-venues.com/car_hire_south_africa.htm
...gives conflicting advice on the same page.

"To hire a motor vehicle in South Africa you must be in possession of
a valid drivers license and carry it with you at all times. Any valid
driver’s licence is accepted provided it bears the photograph and
signature of the holder and is printed in English."

And

"Drivers must have an international drivers license and a minimum of 5
years experience in order to hire a car in South Africa."
