More details to this question:
We have met and I am wondering if I go back to South Africa and we get married, would that be an easier process for him to immigrate versus applying for a fiance visa? The fiance visa seems a cumbersome process.

It would be possible for you to go to South African, get married and then begin the process to bring him to the US. As you stated, you can also take the K visa route. The K visa is not necessarily more cumbersome, but the immigration service usually wants to see that you have met in person at least twice. The K visa route can also be a little faster, but you would be on a strict timeline for getting married upon your fiancé’s entry.
