Renting a WiFi hotspot in South Africa

Renting a WiFi hotspot in South Africa - Top view of paper world map with continents and different countries oceans and seas placed in sunny room

I'll be visiting Johannesburg, South Africa in a few weeks. I want to rent a WiFi hotspot so that I can connect several devices to the Internet. I've seen that Vodacom rents these, and they can be picked up at the airport.

I will only be using this in the vicinity of Johannesburg. Is there a better choice than Vodacom?

Edited: changed Vodaphone to Vodacom.
