Sir Gordon Tietjens' side beat the Africans despite trailing 17-7.
Tries from Rieko Ioane and Gillies Kaka, with the latter scoring the match-winning try from a quickly taken tap penalty with the clock in the red, helped the New Zealand team to victory.
They topped their pool after comfortable wins over Portugal and Russia and will meet Argentina in the first quarter-final at the penultimate world series event tonight.
New Zealand are third in the series standings.
