May I recommend Hartung's Astronomical Objects for Southern Telescopes, 2nd edition, revised by David Malin & David Frew in 1995, which lists 1129 objects, mostly for moderate sized scopes. The list covers DSOs' and Double stars and provides plenty of objects to keep you busy for many nights. The book may be expensive to import to Sth Africa unless you manage to obtain one second hand ( rare ).
Also I would recommend checking out the observing lists in the Projects & Articles section of this forum, there's plenty of material for us southern hemisphere observers, written and posted by dedicated and generous amateurs from south of the equator, many thanks to them.

God Luck & Clear skies
