The 30-year-old Free Stater was one under par through nine holes, but managed two birdies in his last four holes to match his opening round 68 and move to eight under par for the tournament, two ahead of the field.

His biggest challenge came from Englishman Lee Slattery, who carded the best round of the day with a 65 and an overall total of 138 for six under par.

Home favourite Ernie Els leads a group of six players on five under, including Britons Richard Bland, John Bickerton, Craig Lee and overnight leader Sion Bebb as well as South African Titch Moore, who shot a 68.

Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke bounced back from his difficult opening round to shoot a solid three-under-par 69 and move to two under for the competition.

Ross Fisher, currently second on the European Order of Merit, managed to fight back from his poor 76 on the opening day by shooting a 70.

The only big name to miss out on the weekend action was 2004 winner Charl Schwartzel after a four-over-par 43 added to his 75 from Thursday.
