List of international cricket five-wicket hauls on South African cricket grounds

The South Africa national cricket team played its first representative match in 1889 against a touring side of English players organised by Major RG Wharton. In 1897 the two representative matches on the tour were retrospectively awarded Test cricket status, South Africa becoming the third Test playing country.[lower-alpha 1][1][2] The team played regularly against Australia, England and New Zealand until the 1960s but played no matches against sides from countries such as India or West Indies due to the racially exclusive policies of successive South African governments which barred non-white players from international cricket. This evolved into a formal policy of apartheid in the late 1940s and by the end of the 1960s pressure had grown on other countries not to play South African sporting sides.

The 1968 D'Oliveira affair created significant tension between South Africa and England and the South African tour of England in 1970 was cancelled following pressure from anti-apartheid campaigners.[3] In 1971 Don Bradman, the chair of the Australian Cricket Board, refused to allow the South African team to tour Australia, having met with South African Prime Minister John Vorster whose views on race had disturbed Bradman.[3][4] The subsequent sporting boycott of South Africa isolated South African cricket, with the last international tour of the country in 1972 when New Zealand's women visited the country. The sporting boycott lasted until the fall of the apartheid regime and South Africa next played international cricket in 1991, touring West Indies. The first tour of the country following the lifting of the boycott took place in 1992, India playing a series in the country for the first time.

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.[5] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on South African cricket grounds in official international Test, One Day International and Twenty20 International matches.[lower-alpha 2]

The first five-wicket hauls in international cricket in South Africa were taken during the first Test match at St George's Park Cricket Ground in 1889. England's Aubrey Smith took the first with South Africa's Albert Rose-Innes also taking a five-wicket haul later in the same match. In One Day International cricket, the first five-wicket haul in South Africa was taken in 1992 in the first ODI played in the country by future South African captain Hansie Cronje, whilst Pakistani bowler Umar Gul took the first in Twenty20 International cricket in the country.
