NearMe.co.za is an independent South African directory for “near me” searches. It helps you find local businesses, services and places across all nine provinces, from pharmacies and plumbers to car washes and places to stay, with phone numbers, addresses and directions where we have them.
What you will find here
- Category pages for shops, services and places, such as pharmacies and plumbers
- City pages for Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and Pretoria, gathered on our locations pages
- Store and branch locators for well-known South African chains
- Practical guides for finding and checking local businesses
Each listing page shows how many places we hold for that search and where they are across the provinces, towns and suburbs. The most complete records come first: entries with a phone number and a street address are listed before those without.
Where our listings come from
Our listings come from the open Overture Maps Places dataset, filtered to South Africa. We currently hold 464,262 South African listings across 9,274 towns and suburbs. The data was last updated on 11 August 2026.
The dataset is built from open and contributed map sources and is not checked business by business, so a phone number or address can be out of date. Please confirm with the business before you travel.
What NearMe.co.za does not do
- We are not the businesses listed here, and we are not affiliated with any brand we list.
- We do not take bookings, orders or payments for listed businesses.
- We do not publish opening hours or prices, because our source does not carry verified hours or prices.
- We do not rank businesses as the “best”. Lists are ordered by how complete each record is, not by ratings or payment.
About our guides
Our guides give general, factual information for South Africa, such as how to check that a business is legitimate or how to choose a plumber. Where rules apply, they point you to the official regulator, such as the HPCSA, PIRB, PSIRA or the Legal Practice Council. They are general information, not professional advice.
Corrections and contact
If a listing is wrong, out of date or should not be here, tell us on our Contact and Corrections page and we will correct or remove it. You can also read our privacy notice and Terms of Use.
