Health statistics - Health Systems Trust: "Makubalo LE, Levin J, Muluma R. Survey of HIV prevalence among women attending antenatal clinics in South Africa - 1999. Pretoria: Department of Health 1999. In the 1999 survey a total of 16 841 women participated from 487 sentinel sites (clinics) throughout the nine provinces. Sentinel sites were selected on the basis of a systematic random sampling in which weighting is conducted using the probability proportional to size (PPS) technique. Blood specimens were tested using the ELISA test."
There it is; an official mention of the ELISA test in statistic gathering for HIV in South Africa. And the latest statistic for HIV prevalence given from this study is 29.5%. There that is; the 30% I've heard so often.
