Yes, there are funnelweb spiders in South Africa, but that being said, they live all over the world. The family Hexathelidae contains the more venomous versions of the funnelweb, in particular the Sydney Funnelweb Spider, which has been considered as the worlds most dangerous spider. The Hexathelidae spiders are also found in North and Central Africa, but are not as dangerous as the ones in Australia. The other family of funnelwebs, the Araneomorphs, are mainly harmless, except for the Hobo Spider, which is found in North America.
