Simon Poole has just created a full history extract for South Africa
available here: http://odbl.poole.ch/extracts/

I have recompressed the file using xz:
http://grant.dev.openstreetmap.org/tmp/za-poly/south_africa_and_lesotho-110919-1418.osh.xz
(53MB)
7-zip can be used to decompress the file: http://www.7-zip.org/

The date range is 17 Oct 2006 23:38 to 19 Sep 2011 13:16 (UTC)
The first South African OSM node seem to be
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/18401311

Some additional South African stats are available here:
