Woolworths sells one type of Vodacom and one type of MTN sim card. The
Vodacom plan sold at Woolsworth is the Power Bonus plan. There's an
option to switch plans, but I'm not sure if that works in time for
DebConf. The card costs 1 rand.
You should be able to charge your card at ATMs (not tried yet), or the
Vodacom website (it's very picky about which credit cards it accepts,
it does not seem to like mine). Or probably you could buy a card at
the woolworths and then buy an airtime charge thingy card at a Vodacom
store, but not sure (maybe woolworths even has some, idk).
The cards are are near the cash register, in the middle of the room on
some kind of separating wall. So you'll find them if you just wait in
the queue and then look right.
highvoltage also bought some pre-registered cards.
