I can confirm it is relatively straight forward to buy and register a vehicle as a non South African resident. I have done it twice in the last few years.
One point to note is that if you then sell the vehicle in South Africa, it is very difficult to then transfer your rands out of the country due to currency control issues. Most retail forex dealers will not exchange your rands back into foreign currency unless you can show proof that you bought them in the first place.
