Cape Town Apartment Lease

[RacingJames1]

I am possibly moving to Cape Town for a year, and am in the process of looking for a place to live. Does anyone know the laws/rules on exiting a lease early? I am happy to sign up for 12 months, but if things aren't working out over there, is there anyway to break out of the lease early? Or will the lease have to be paid in full?

Thanks for any advice.
