This is UK border control you are referring to?

If you have a new passport, use e-gates, or just register for IRIS.

Have you ever been refused a visa when holding your South Afican passport?
This should not cause you problems with your British Passport but may be this is the reason?

why not write a complaint http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/complaints/
