South Africa national cricket team entered first-class and international cricket at the same time when they hosted an England cricket team in the 1888-89 season, becoming the third cricketing nation. The team regularly played against Australia, England and New Zealand through to the 1960s, by which time there was considerable opposition to the country's apartheid policy and an international ban was imposed by the ICC, commensurate with actions taken by other global sporting bodies, which remained in place until 1991. In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a five-for or fifer) refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement. The following list is about the five-wicket hauls taken on South African cricket grounds.
