The South African army has about 67,000 active duty soldiers. There is another 15,000 soldiers that are on reserve duty.
I don't think the south recruited them but the North recruited African Americans to win the war against the south to make the slaves free.
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.

You need to be a Permanent Resident, and satisfy other ADF entry criteria to join the Australian Army.
disadvantages for the south were they needed more soldiers and were slowing losing control

It allowed many African Americans from the South become free and join the Union's army.

Due to the restrictions imposed by the South African government of the time, SA forces could ONLY be used in Africa. However many individual South Africans joined the Britsh Army or Royal Air Force and served in Europe.
