Does hosting in South Africa decide which law applies?
No. The region is where the servers run. The contract is with a company, and the country it is based in decides which courts and authorities can reach the data. A provider from elsewhere can run servers in South Africa. For personal data, check the data processing agreement too.
Who is the best hosting provider in South Africa?
We can't tell from here. A host that suits a small agency site can be wrong for an API with users in Asia and Europe. The list is alphabetical and nobody paid for a place on it. The guide covers what to compare.
