The table below summarises the plug types, voltage and frequency of electrical current in both Malawi and Botswana.
| Malawi | Botswana | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug Types | G | D, G, M |
| Voltage | 230V | 230V |
| Frequency of electrical current | 50Hz | 50Hz |
Malawi uses Plug Type G.
In Botswana there's more than one socket type in use. You may require more than one adaptor.
Socket Type G
(Malawi) to Plug Type D
(Botswana)
Socket Type G
(Malawi) to Plug Type M
(Botswana)
Botswana also uses Socket Type G, which is used in Malawi. If using an appliance that has a Type G Plug in the Type G Sockets of Botswana, you will not need an adaptor.
The voltage found in Malawi and Botswana is exactly the same (230V). You will not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Malawi and Botswana is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
