The West Indies gained their most significant Test win away from home in seven years when they beat South Africa by 128 runs on the fourth day of the first Test at St. George's Park on Saturday.
Set 389 to win, South Africa succumbed to consistent pressure from the West Indian fast bowlers and were bowled out for 260, with Fidel Edwards and Jerome Taylor taking three wickets each.
South Africa were never in contention after slumping to 45 for four, although Jacques Kallis (85) and A.B. de Villiers (60) provided resistance in a fifth wicket stand of 112, while Andre Nel (34) and Dale Steyn (33 not out) delayed the end with a hard-hitting ninth wicket partnership of 67.
It was the first away Test win for the West Indies, other than against minnows Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, since they beat England by an innings and 93 runs in Birmingham in June 2000.
South Africa's woes started when Daren Powell dismissed Herschelle Gibbs for his second duck of the match.
Fellow fast bowler Edwards built up impressive pace to claim the wickets of Hashim Amla and South African captain Graeme Smith as South Africa slumped to 20 for three.
Kallis and Ashwell Prince survived until lunch but Prince fell to Jerome Taylor four balls after the interval, edging a low catch to West Indian captain Chris Gayle at first slip.
Earlier the West Indies scored 29 runs before losing their last two wickets to be all out for 175. Taylor made a hard-hit 22 before he was last man out. Left-arm spinner Paul Harris took both wickets to finish with four for 35.
South Africa, seeking to better their highest winning fourth innings total of 340 for five against Australia in 2001-2002, made a bad start when Gibbs padded up to Powell in the third over.
The ball was only marginally outside his off stump, angling in to the stumps, and umpire Aleem Dar had no hesitation in giving Gibbs out.
Edwards, who did not take a wicket in the first innings, had Amla caught behind with the batsman getting an edge to wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin as he pushed at the ball outside off stump.
Edwards had Smith jumping when he bowled a bouncer. He repeated the delivery and Smith was caught by short leg fielder Daren Ganga as the ball looped off the handle of his bat, with Ganga making good ground to take the ball in front of the batsman.
Kallis, who was out without scoring in the first innings, made a shaky start but soon settled down to play some fine strokes, hitting seven boundaries in reaching his half-century off 70 balls.
He was unlucky to be given out when an attempted hook deflected off his shoulder to Ramdin.
De Villiers was eighth man out when he drove Taylor to mid-on.
When the final wicket fell, the West Indians gathered with arms linked and danced in the middle of the field.

Former Australian motorcycle gang member-turned-golfer Ryan Peake, who served a lengthy jail term for assault, yesterday produced a “life-changing” maiden win to qualify for The Open Championship. Peake held his nerve for a one-stroke victory at the New Zealand Open, earning him a berth at the major in Portrush, Northern Ireland, in July, pending clearance to travel as a convicted criminal. The 31-year-old from Perth celebrated animatedly and was showered with champagne by friends on the 18th green of the Millbrook Resort course near Queenstown after a redemption story rarely seen in the refined sport of golf.
