Top 5 wicketkeepers from South Africa 

#4 John Waite

John Waite in action

John Waite played for South Africa for 14 years from 1951 to 1965, and is generally regarded as the first great wicket-keeper that the country produced. In Tests, he recorded 124 catches and 17 stumpings, a tally that stood as a national record for many years before being broken by future South African wicket-keepers.

In addition to that, he was a combative batsman as well and scored 4 Test centuries in his career. Waite was the first South African to play in 50 Test matches and he still jointly holds the record for most dismissals (24) in a Test series by a South African wicket-keeper. Waite will forever be remembered as South Africa's first truly great wicket-keeper.
