In June Brendon McCullum was named as the captain for New Zealand on this tour. However, in July, it was announced that McCullum had been rested for this tour and the tour to Zimbabwe, being replaced by Kane Williamson.

Ross Taylor was injured in training the day before the 3rd ODI against Zimbabwe and was ruled out of the rest of New Zealand's tour in Africa. Faf du Plessis was injured for the T20I series, so AB de Villiers captained South Africa. The injury ruled out du Plessis for the ODI and T20I series. Farhaan Behardien and Dean Elgar were added to the squad.
