Beauden Barrett made a late impact for the visitors, adding a try before converting a Kieran Read effort to seal the bonus point needed for New Zealand to clinch the title.
South Africa had a chance to reduce New Zealand's lead late on, as Ben Franks was sent to the sin bin, but were unable to reduce their opponents' lead, ensuring that the All Blacks remain unbeaten in the tournament for a second consecutive year.
