A Type N plug in South Africa?

Yes — it seats, earth and all.

🇿🇦 Type C socket

South Africa's Type M and Type N and Type C sockets accept a Type N plug. Both sides carry an earth, so grounded appliances keep their protection. The wall delivers 230 V at 50 Hz (207–253 V within tolerance) — if your device isn't rated for that (look for "100–240 V" on the brick), an adapter won't save it.
