This is your lucky day !!!
I bought a bike in Johannesburg 6 months ago and am now travelling on it.
I just posted a guide called : "Foreigner's guide to purchasing a motorcycle in south africa (johannesburg)" . It will give you all the info you need on how to buy a bike, but in Joburg not Cape Town ( Which will probably be the better option for you ).
I have ridden through most of the countries up till Kenya (where i am now) so i have all the info you are looking for regarding border crossings, carnet,insurance etc...
Im heading back to South Africa to sell my bike (Hope to be there by the end of March).
(If anybody is interested its a 2012 BMW F800GS - Fully equipped )
Write down all the questions you have and ill see how i can help you ...
