if anyone has a few spare days and some extra cash, Sun City is well worth a visit, and is right next to the Pilaneserg Game Reserve which has the big 5, about 2 hours drive from Johannesburg. But if you really keen on the game viewing, i think the Kruger Park is better, ive seen far more there.
The game reserve in Sun City is an imported man-made affair. OK if you are in Sun City and have no time for the Kruger but otherwise don't bother. Personally I wouldn't bother with Sun City at all unless you are into gambling and golf.
Durban is the pick of that bunch for me and be sure to check out Thirsty's bar on the waterfront.
Pretoria is OK but I'd be a little wary of the Polokwane game if not on an organised trip. Best make sure you are armed with local knowledge in terms of places/areas to avoid anywhere in South Africa, but particularly for that match.
