The British Army accepts citizens of all Commonwealth countries. However, this tends to be a bit of a grey area, given legislation passed in South Africa which prohibits the rendering of military assistance to foreign powers without first receiving approval from the South African government. So, basically, you have to ask the South African government for permission before you join, although you'd likely still be accepted into the British Army if you didn't take this measure, in which case, you'd likely be best advised to accept naturalisation and British citizenship afterwards, for the sake of avoiding prosecution by the government of South Africa.
