Cities in South Africa
Each city page names the neighbourhoods and a public place for a first meeting.
A 3 day trial for dating in South Africa is £2.99, then the 1 Month plan at £19.99 unless you cancel. One week is £9.99. Sending a message stays free. Reading a reply and writing back need a plan. See membership prices.
How it works
Start with your email on this page. You finish the profile on the join page, and a photo can wait.

3
Sign in and say hello
Sign in at secure.welovedates.com, browse, and write to whoever catches your eye.
No plan is required to join, browse, or send. A plan is how their answer opens. You can join, look through profiles and send a message in South Africa without paying. Reading a reply and writing back need a plan.
+Which city should I put on my profile?
The one you can meet in. Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban have their own guides. A smaller town still belongs on the profile, because the drive is the evening. These pages are in English, and if you want a language in common, name it on your own profile.
+How do I avoid a fake profile?
Messages and photos are screened automatically. That is a filter, not a promise. If someone asks for money, stop. Report and block in your account. A verified badge tells people you completed the optional ID check. Incoming messages go through a screen, and meet in public, tell someone where you are going, and keep the journey home in your hands.

Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and a smaller town are not the same evening. Johannesburg is a metro: Sandton, Rosebank, Braamfontein and Melville are real places and far apart. Cape Town's Sea Point promenade, Company's Garden and Kirstenbosch are public plans, and Stellenbosch is not Cape Town. In Durban, Florida Road, the beachfront and Berea are different meetings, and uMhlanga is another one again.
Rustenburg sits in North West, a real journey from Pretoria and from Johannesburg. Nelspruit is not White River. Say the place you can actually reach. Do not rank a province as a personality.
