How to write a South Africa address
The suburb gets its own line between street and city. The 4-digit postal code follows the city; street codes and box codes can differ for the same area.
Tips for shipping forms
When a form splits the address into fields, map the example above from the bottom up: the last line is the country, the line above carries the postal code and city, and everything else fills the street address lines in order. Keep diacritics if the form accepts them; plain ASCII is also universally deliverable.
