All-Time South Africa XIs - A re-run

Dear all,
On the exercise of making All time Test teams of Test playing nations again (previously run by NUFAN in 2018) we run into our 2nd team, South Africa, after Australia. I think targeting to make 7+1 teams will suffice for SA, given we made 12 for the Aussies. For reference, the previous exercise:

All Time South Africa XI game

Onto the final team, South Africa. 334 Test Cricketers in total would mean 10-12 teams should be fine but RSA have had many Test cricketers who have played only a few Tests so 8 teams is a good target. For those yet to participate, your choices must have played Test Cricket. Lets go.. -...

I know they didnt play test cricket, but players like Rice, LeRoux, McEwan, Van Der Bijl Kourie and Fotheringham should be allowed, all of them would most certainly break in to the top 30 players,

I had that in mind, and that's the very reason I declared we will make 7 ATG South Africa Teams; and that +1 is a special team consisting of uncapped players, where I expect the likes of Rice, Bijl, Le Roux, McEwan, Jennings and Roro to make the team.

Might be worth doing a separate more discussion related thread for the uncapped players to run concurrently (unless it's already been done to death) I know I'd enjoy reading peoples choices and opinions

As you expected, it had been done severely times before. Heck, I myself made my first ever thread (that one's embarrassing) discussing SA teams including players without a cap. But well, given isolation and apartheid, the No Test Team in this exercise is unique to the Saffas.
