Source: Samigration, 25/03/2019

Yet, the South African passport is the most powerful African
passport, the latest data published by the Henley Passport Index
shows - a list of world passports, ranked from the most powerful
to the weakest, based on how many other countries one can visit
with that passport visa-free or with a visa-on-arrival/e-visa.
As of January 2019, South African passport holders can travel to
101 world countries without the need to apply for a visa prior to
their trip.
South Africans can travel to and enter 67 countries without any
type of visa. There is another 34, which they can enter by
obtaining a visa on arrival or enter on a free e-visa at the port
of entry of their destination country.
The overall global list is topped by three Asian countries Japan,
Singapore and South Korea, followed by the EU/EEA countries.
All in all there are 101 countries around the globe we can enter
on our passports alone, and while they may not be the US, Canada,
Australia or most of Europe, there are some pretty exciting places
to go.
