On a side note, most people haven’t a clue how a circle works.

In South Africa, you give way to traffic on the right, that is already entered or at the circle before you. 

That does NOT mean you give way to the entirety of traffic approaching from your right, only to the traffic already in the circle or busy entering the circle as you approach. 

At that point when it's your turn, then you enter and continue to give way to traffic to your left already in the circle before you. 

Unfortunately the asleep-behind-the-wheel Capetonians think that you need to sit stationary at the circle for ad infinitum while the rest of Cape Town enters the circle to their right. 

The logic is really simple. A traffic circle is nothing more than a moving four-way stop with pretty much similar logic other than yield to your right, then to your left. 

What is is NOT is a stop till the whole world passes by.
