Get a local SIM card
The easiest option is to get one at the airport, there are a number of providers (MTN, Cell-C, Vodacom) who have shops near the arrival鈥檚 hall in the airport. In order to register the SIM card you will need to show your passport. (In town it gets far more complicated.) An eSim now looks like the best option.
