List of postal codes in South Africa
From Freepedia
Post Codes were introduced in South Africa in the mid 1970s, with the introduction of automated sorting.
South African post codes consist of four digits. In the case of cities and large towns, the last two digits may indicate the mode of delivery:
| City | Province | Street Address | PO Box Address | |
| Johannesburg | Gauteng | 2001 | 2000 | |
| Cape Town | Western Cape | 8001 | 8000 | |
| Pretoria | Gauteng | 0002 | 0001 | |
| Durban | KwaZulu Natal | 4001 | 4000 | |
| Kimberley | Northern Cape | 8301 | 8300 | |
| Port Elizabeth | Eastern Cape | 6000 | 6001 | |
| Nelspruit | Mpumalanga | 1201 | 1200 | |
| Bloemfontein | Free State | 9301 | 9300 | |
| Polokwane | Limpopo | 0699 | 0700 |
A feature of South African postal addresses, also common to Australia, is that it is only necessary to include the suburb, not the city, for example, in the case of Yeoville in Johannesburg:
47 Rockey Street YEOVILLE 2198
The South African post code system (number range 9000-9299) was also used in Namibia until 1992, when they were withdrawn from use by the country's postal service:
Private Bag X1 WINDHOEK 9000
South Africa's neighbours, Lesotho and Swaziland, have their own separate post code systems.
