That is because the Earth is rotating. The coriolis effect puts a spin on the moving air. The following video is about storms, but the principle is explained.
The winds always blow from the south at the South Pole due to the rotation of the Earth and the Coriolis effect, which causes the winds to flow from high pressure to low pressure areas. This is known as the polar easterlies.
No, southerly winds come from the south and blow towards the north.

Surface winds at the North Pole generally move from the south towards the north, forming the Polar Easterlies. These winds are a result of the temperature difference between the cold polar regions and the warmer mid-latitudes.
The winds that blow from the North Pole are called polar easterlies, while the winds that blow from the South Pole are called polar westerlies. These winds are cold, dry, and they originate from the high-pressure areas near the poles.
Planetary winds are any winds that occur because of solar radiation. They are in direct correlation to the rotation of the earth. Planetary winds do not blow directly north or south.
The winds always blow from the south at the South Pole due to the rotation of the Earth and the Coriolis effect, which causes the winds to flow from high pressure to low pressure areas. This is known as the polar easterlies.
Local winds, such as sea breezes and mountain winds, are not planetary winds. These winds are driven by local temperature and pressure differences rather than the global atmospheric circulation patterns that produce the planetary winds.
Then the earth would not rotate.
Trade winds!
Everywhere is south from the north pole. Due to the rotation of the earth the majority of the winds follow the weather from west to east. The further south from the north pole, many other factors come into play that have a direct impact on the direction of the winds due to changes in the earth's profile, the flora, the variation of the surface temperatures, etc..

South winds come from the south, or in other words, they blow in a direction from south to north.

No, southerly winds come from the south and blow towards the north.

The rotation of the Earth causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection disrupts the direct north-south flow of wind from the South Pole to the North Pole. Additionally, the complex global wind patterns caused by factors such as temperature gradients and pressure systems further prevent a direct flow of wind between the poles.
