Oom Samie se Winkel (Uncle Sam's shop)
This famous Stellenbosch institution is a shop set back in time,
where a huge variety of interesting products can be purchased from
shelves crammed with sweets, dried fish, wine, clothing and
tobacco. It is well worth a look, if not to buy anything, then to
experience how locals traded 200 years ago.

Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
