You'd probably have to do what we did. I lived in SA for 26 years and am married to a South African. We had to apply for a settlement visa for him (I've got a British passport) before we could move back to UK. Visa is valid for two years and the month before it expires you can then apply for ILR. You'll also have to pass a Life in the UK test before applying for ILR. All fun and games. The settlement visa costs a couple of thousand of Rands and then the ILR application will cost another £850.
Good Luck
