Yes. Check if there's a voltage switch on the back of your computer. Should be rather small. Switch to 220V. Power plugs in SA are bigger and 3 pronged, so you also need to buy a new PC power cable in SA.

Computers in the US run on 110 volts so you would need to purchase a converter. They aren't expensive. Most things that are 220 volts in the US are things like heaters, etc. and require a different plug than the 110 volt outlets.

If it's dual voltage, or if you have a converter. Voltage in South Africa is 230-240 volts.

You may have to change the voltage in the power supply but other than that it should work just the same.
