Nothing you send in a direct message is public, and profile photos are public, but conversations are not.
Enter Pretoria as your base and tighten the distance filter as far as it will go, and results start inside Pretoria and only spread into South Africa when local activity runs out.
Start with one clear recent photo and two or three sentences in your bio, and avoid a generic opener; reference something you read on their profile.
Activity in Pretoria varies by time of day and by how tight your radius is, and check at two different times before deciding the local pool is empty.
