Metal band Seether are from South Africa and they have probably had more international success than any other South African Band. Their biggest hit is probably "Broken" the duet with Amy Lee (Evanescence).

Though it's not current, Trevor Rabin was one of South Africa's biggest success stories. He was singer/guitarist for the '70s rock group Rabbitt and in the early '80s he helped reform the British prog. band Yes and his writing and musicianship helped create Yes's most successful album, 90123 in 1983. I like to call Rabin South Africa's guitar hero because he plays a lot of flash solos, sounding a bit like American guitar hero Steve Vai.

My favourite South African album is eVoid's self titled album from 1983. eVoid, so I've read, were South Africa's biggest band for a time. The album wasn't an international success, but it has a good original synth-pop sound.
