could a uk incorporated limited company deemed resident in south africa due to sole director physical presence for more than 183 days be required to deduct SA WHT from dividend payments made whilst the director and company were resident in SA?

Presumably the answer is, subject to the facts, yes.
You would need to consider what the DTA between the UK and S Africa has to say, as well as local S African tax law.
What does the company do and where does it do it? You will need to consider this when deciding the company's residence under the DTA (Remember if incorporated since 1988 the company will automatically be UK resident under domestic law)
