There are eleven official languages in South Africa: English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Ndebele, Swazi, Sotho, Tsonga, Tswana, Pedi, Venda, and Xhosa. English however, is pervasive throughout the country and, in the major metropolitan areas at least, tourists and immigrants alike should have few problems.
Road signs are in English, as are most forms, instructions, bills; virtually everything you will encounter on a daily basis. British English, as opposed to American English, is spoken in South Africa.
