Your wife will need to find employment in the UK earning a minimum of £18,600 per annum and be in this job for 6 months before applying. Alternatively, if you have been earning the equivalent of £18,600 in South Africa for at least 6 months and have a confirmed job offer in the UK to start within 3 months of arrival (salary at least £18,600) you can apply with this evidence. Regarding savings held, it would help if you convert this to £ sterling to save forum members googling the rates for you.
You'll also need to prove in your application that you have suitable accommodation available on the your arrival in the UK.
Amber's correct of course that the clock has been re-set for your spouse visa application, putting you on the 5 year route to settlement.
