Will this kit work in South Africa?
From what I can gather, South Africa has some plugs that are similar to India's and some that are type M, something unique to Southern Africa. Anyone been to South Africa and tried this out?

So, actually, after spending seven months in South Africa, I can now answer my own question. And the answer is actually no. South Africa uses a plug unique to Southern Africa that is incompatible with any of the plugs sold in the World Travel Adapter Kit. You need to buy an additional plug adapter or, alternatively, you can purchase a plug adapter from Apple in South Africa that will plug right into your AC adapter.
