This is why South Africa has a new plug standard

Why do you guys post MBB threats here? This is MyG. blah blah blah j/k :D :p

Damn those two pin plugs drive me mad at times...and having a child made those old style 3 prong plug hole look enormous.

Wouldnt mind the new plug, just the time it will take to eventually have everything on one standard...
 
Because somebody in government has a friends who bought them on the cheap and now needs to get rid of them...
 
Personally i think the new standard looks a lot better. Now they just need to sell hardware on the new plugs and people will soon adopt it. We've had the plug in our house for 3 years now and I'm still waiting for those points to be used.
 
My question is will you be able to DIY those plugs if you need to extend/make your own power cord?

Not sure, but the current 2-prong plugs are not available as a self-attach option? I usually cut them off and throw them away, never needed to add one to a cord before.

I've bought a couple of them in the past, they're just an absolute bitch to find to be completely honest. Plus they look like complete shit.
 
Had the new ones in my place since like 2013...:p

Its a good outcome - being compatible with the Euro plugs...think of it this way...we could have got some godawful tenderpreneur special that insists on hexagonal pins. So this isn't bad. Plus fixes this:

Yeah that was a serious design fckup that.
 
One of the first things I bought when my wife was pregnant was those plastic protective inserts for those old three pronged plugs.
