I second Thomas. Don't ride at night unless you are in a well lit urban area. Be careful even there as drunk driving and speeding are two of the average South African's favourite hobbies. Not to talk about vehicles in "stealth" mode and drunk pedestrians wearing dark clothing trying to cross the freeway.
Don't do it Iron Butt style. You'll rush past things and will miss everything. 10 days is a good time frame for the Cape Coast and Little Karoo or the Cederberg, Little and Great Karoo. The daily distances on the tours I run are between 200km and 350 km on as much dirt as possible and partially mildly technical stuff (depending on weather and time of year).
BTW: 200km to 350km will translate to 3 to 7 hrs of riding on the type of dirt roads mentioned above and you will be VERY tired after a 350km day as the riding is much more demanding than cruising down a tarmac highway.
