If you had married before you spouse applied for visa to travel and its included in his/her application then it will be easier, because there is a space for the name of the spouse if you are married, and the person will be asked if the spouse intend to join him/her anytime after. It also depend on the kind of permit the person has, if the person here in south africa is here for a PhD programme then they have no choice than to give the spouse the visa. You can apply at the vfs center, ask them for accompany visa form and they will give u a form to fill, then you have to attach the passport data page of your spouse, the permit, letter of invitation and sponsorship, his/her bank account statement and proof of address, your police certificate, medical certificate, radiological certificate, yellow card and application letter.
Goodluck
