"get away", "pushing luck" - is there laws around tipping?

  >"get away", "pushing luck" - is there laws around tipping? No laws. 10% is the accepted baseline though - going below/over is seen as a comment on the quality of the service. So if the waiter did a good job and you tip 5% then they see it as an insult. I should also add that waiters in SA are generally not paid a live-able wage. They rely on that 10% to put food on their own plate.
