Adelaide - South Africa ended New Zealand's unbeaten 47-match streak by winning the final of the IRB Adelaide World Series Sevens 15-7 here on Sunday.
The South Africans, beaten 26-12 by New Zealand in last weekend's Hong Kong Sevens, turned the tables with the flying Fabian Juries the hero with two tries.
South Africa took an early 10-0 lead with two unconverted tries but had to withstand a determined fightback from the Kiwis after Victor Vito powered his way over for a converted try shortly after halftime.
But Juries, the player of the tournament, settled the issue with his second try with 3:30 left to bring off the mighty upset.
