Yes
South Africa is large - which area are you planning on doing volunteer work in?
As far as safety is concerned - be sensible, listen to what people tell you. It's a great country with warm-hearted people.
That's like asking is it safe to visit the USA..? Generally speaking of course it is, but like in the USA there are some localities that a visitor would be well advised to avoid. More information required here I think.
