Dale Steyn became South Africa's joint second-highest Test wicket-taker when he took the first West Indies wicket to fall on the first morning of the third and final Test at Newlands on Friday.
The West Indies were 80 for two at lunch after winning the toss and batting.
Steyn struck in his second spell when he had Kraigg Brathwaite caught low down at gully by Dean Elgar for seven.
It was his 390th Test wicket, equalling Makhaya Ntini on South Africa's all-time list, which is headed by Shaun Pollock on 421.
Debutant off-spinner Simon Harmer, who replaced Imran Tahir in the only change to the South African team, claimed the second wicket when Devon Smith chopped the last ball before lunch on to his stumps after making 47.
Brathwaite and Smith put on 30 for the first wicket and saw off the new ball pairing of Steyn and Philander.
But Steyn switched ends after a short break and struck with his second delivery from the Wynberg end.
Smith and Leon Johnson (24 not out) put on 50 for the second wicket.
Smith, who played and missed several times early in his innings, settled down and looked set for a half-century before attempting to cut Harmer, getting a bottom edge which crashed into his stumps.
