The pornographic industry in Africa is still struggling overall, although South Africa is by far the largest producer and consumer of pornographic material of all the African countries, so at least you're looking in the right place.
As with many other professions, breaking into the porn industry is all about knowing the right people.
Becoming a porn star in South Africa
One suggestion would be to attend Sexpo, a 'health, lifestyle and sexuality' exposition that is regularly held in South Africa. This will give you the chance to meet the talent and the companies behind most of Africa's porn industry.
Alternatively, sondeza.com is a web portal that might be of use to you. It is described as an adult entertainment website where sexually liberated individuals come together, but it is essentially a good way to find producers looking to cast pornographic actors and actresses.

The African porn industry has really struggled to develop due to two main reasons:
- Piracy (I mean the DVD kind)
- The Law (pornography is still illegal in several African countries, restricting the market considerably)
Also, before deciding that the South African porn industry is your calling, I'd suggest looking into the following issues that are all very real concerns for those involved in South Africa's X-rated industry:
- Exploitation
- Human Trafficking
- The likelihood of encountering HIV and other sexually-transmitted diseases
