Take a good look at the current electrical plug and socket in your house, because starting in 2015 the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) plans to get rid of it for good.
The large three prong plug currently in use has been a household standard since it was adopted in the 1930s. But SABS are planning to phase it out starting in 2015, in a process that might take 10 to 20 years, or longer.
The new “preferred standard” offers new safety features, making it the safest plug in the world. If you think that this will solve our current compatibility issues abroad, think again… It will only be used in South Africa and Brazil.
Thank you SABS.
