What payment methods are accepted in Southern Africa?

Can foreign tourists claim tax refunds on purchases?
Yes, tourists can claim VAT tax refunds on eligible physical goods purchased in South Africa when departing through major international airports. Ensure you ask for official tax invoices and retain your items for inspection at customs.
Is bargaining common at local craft markets?
