The Springboks Sevens side bounced back in impressive style when they beat Kenya 27-12 in their second match at the Dubai Sevens on Friday.
The Blitzboks ran in five tries against a hapless Kenyan outfit, who had gone into the game hopeful after a 19-19 draw with series champions Australia in their opening game.
Earlier on Friday, the South Africans started their campaign on a low note when they lost 14-5 to Great Britain.
But the second match was a far more polished performance by the Blitzboks, who have won the Dubai Sevens title on nine previous occasions.
South Africa's final Pool A match is against Australia at 18:33 (SA time) on Friday.

SA 27 (17)
