No, South Africa refers to one country which is located in southern Africa, but when someone refers to southern Africa it includes a number of countries which are all located on the southern end of the African continent. Other countries which form part of southern Africa include Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique and Zambia.

Why do astronomers in the UK need to work with astronomers in South Africa?

So that the whole sky is covered. In the northern hemisphere, you don't get to see all of the stars in the southern skies and vice versa. If you are observing something that moves from the south to the northern skies then you need to involve someone in the southern hemisphere. Also, South Africa is on more or less the same longitude; similar time difference, so observations at each site will be happening at the same time.
