Paceman Monde Zondeki took six wickets as South Africa crushed Zimbabwe by an innings and 62 runs to win the second Test with two days to spare on Sunday.
South Africa, who won the first Test inside two days and take the series 2-0, dismissed Zimbabwe for 149 late on the third day.
Hamilton Masakadza hit a defiant 47 and Elton Chigumbura made 44 but Zimbabwe lost their last four wickets for six runs as Zondeki, playing in his second Test, took his maiden five-wicket haul with figures of 6-39 from 14.3 overs.
South Africa declared on 480-7 to leave the tourists needing to score 211 to make them bat again.
Zondeki started the rout just before lunch when Barney Rogers glanced a legside delivery to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher for a duck. Dion Ebrahim8217;s dismissal to the last ball before lunch left Zimbabwe struggling on 13-2 and they were in trouble again when Zondeki ripped out Stuart Matsikenyeri8217;s middle stump. The lanky firebrand struck again four overs later when he trapped Brendan Taylor in front and then had Tatenda Taibu caught behind after a stand of 47 with Masakadza. Masakadza stood firm for more than two hours before edging Zondeki to Boucher to end Zimbabwe8217;s meaningful resistance. Reuters
Brief scores: Zimbabwe: 269 and 149 Monde Zondeki 6-39 lost to South Africa: 480-7 decl Ashwell Prince 139 not out, Jacques Kallis 58, Nicky Boje 82.
