Fast bowler Morne Morkel picked up 5/23 in Australia's second innings to give them their second-heaviest defeat to South Africa in terms of runs and its heaviest since 1970.
The Australia team, in a plot led by captain Steve Smith and senior players, confessed to ball tampering allegations against South Africa in the third Test at Cape Town on Saturday.
Young batsman Cameron Bancroft said he was tasked to carry out the tampering in the third test against South Africa in Cape Town.
Bancroft was seen rubbing the ball with his hands shortly before tea and then put them back in his pockets.
Rabada shared the limelight in South Africa's bowling effort with Morne Morkel, the retiring fast bowler who took his 300th Test wicket on the way to 4/87.
The fan had started by applauding D. Warner, sarcastically it seems, as the Australian approached. He then became abusive.
Cummins removed AB de Villiers for 64 after tea to end his 128-run stand with Dean Elgar and start South Africa's sudden slide.
Smith said in the lead-up to the third Test in Cape Town that Rabada's successful appeal against a two-Test ban was "interesting". He questioned why he was not invited to give his side of the story at the judicial hearing.
Judicial commissioner Michael Heron, who heard the appeal, said he couldn't be "comfortably satisfied" that Rabada intended to make contact with Smith and found him not guilty of the charge under the ICC's code of conduct.
Kagiso Rabada inclusion in the squad remains stable as no decision has yet been made by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Rabada was suspended for the remaining two matches of the ongoing four-Test series against Australia after being found guilty of a Level 2 ICC Code of Conduct offence of 'inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with a player'.
Rabada was suspended for South Africa's remaining two Tests of the four-match series against Australia after being found guilty of ICC Code of Conduct offense.
It has now been confirmed that Steyn would only be considered for selection for the fourth Test at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on March 30.
The four-Test series is at a key point, with Australia 1-0 up but facing a South African fightback at St. George's Park.
South Africa are ahead but their position is not as strong as they were hoping for after a strong start.
Rabada took five wickets in 18 balls in a blistering spell just before and after Tea at St. George's Park, sending the Australians slumping from 161/3 to 182/8.
An Australia victory in the second Test would ensure the tourists cannot lose the four-match series and would mean another failure for South Africa, who haven't beaten Australia in a series at home since 1970.
Warner was involved in a heated argument with de Kock on a staircase leading to the dressing rooms as players came off for the tea break on Sunday.
The International Cricket Council said on Tuesday that Warner has been reported for a Level 2 offence and De Kock for a Level 1 offence, for "conduct that brings the game into disrepute."
Players on both teams could face disciplinary procedures, with the incident being looked at by match officials.
