Hey! I've lived in both South Africa and India.. so I think I can answer this.
There are plenty of Indians in South Africa, they are actually a recognized ethnic group.. so you should blend in pretty well.. till you speak lol (the accent will give you away).
Is it safe? On average yes.. there are dangerous places you might want to keep away from or be very cautious in. Do not go around flashing an expensive phone or clothes.. that make for an easy target. Don't draw extra attention to yourself.. act and move like you've lived there your whole life.. once you start acting "touristy". you become easy prey.
Also choose where you stay wisely.. but the college hostels are really nice.. you'll make lots of friends and they certainly have less rules than Indian college hostels.. A LOT less rules.. so you'll definitely enjoy that.
Cost of living in SA is way higher than India.. so you should brace yourself for that..
Last I checked, you can't get formal employment on a student visa.. but you mentioned working in a restaurant or sth, so that shouldn't be so hard to get.. make some friends, ask around, you'll surely get something to do.
Enjoy you stay

Yes you will be safe.Like everyone else,you'll need to know what areas are unsafe. We have an international community around  campuses and academic institutions. We also have a very large community of South African Indians, so you should feel very at home.
