A SA brand I forgot about. Volcan.

 

At one point they were claiming to be Swiss and still have a cross as part of their logo.

There are some bikes that have their roots in SA.

 

Silverback, Swift, Trek(the founder is South African), Pearl and one or two others.

 

@Eugene mind elaborating on the founder of Trek, I find the South African connection quite interesting (but my Google-zu leaves me high and dry).
