Clothing: in summer, Cape Town is informal. Businessmen wear suits and ties except on hot days when they discard their jackets. In less formal circumstances shorts and tee-shirts are the order of the day for both sexes. Most restaurants require smart casual attire and some prefer jacket and tie. Being a winter rainfall area, Cape Town is wet from May to August.

Currency: One Rand (R) = 100 cents (c). Notes issued R200, R100, R50, R20, R10; coins R5, R2, R1, 50c 20c, 10c, 5c, 2c, & 1c. Currency exchange rates are available at banks and published daily in the press.

Customs: All visitors need valid passports to enter South Africa. Travel agencies and South African consulates can provide visa application forms. The completed form, together with your passport and an identity photo must be filed with the consulate.

Electricity: 220/230 volts AC at 50 cycles per second. Three pronged plugs are universal, so take an adapter. Most hotel rooms have 110 volt outlets for electric shavers and small appliances.

Embassies & Consulates: Most consulates are situated in Johannesburg but many countries have consulates and embassies in Cape Town. Consult the yellow pages directory under consulates & embassies or look in the telephone book under country's name.
