So it's a nice change to read of one country at least which lets them in easily.

Until the early 90's it was still that reason yes, but now it's just the fact that South Africa is lumped in with Somali, Nigeria, Niger etc as another source of potential illegal immigrants so are all treated with suspision.
Saffa's were until recently allowed free access intop Turkey, something about helping each other out in the old days, but now we also have to get visas there.
But then visa's are free for Jordan (as I found out with this application) and Egypt.
