The voltages found in Sierra Leone (230V) and South Africa (220V and 230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency found in Sierra Leone and South Africa is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
