The Blitzboks won 31-7 after leading 17-0 at half-time.
The win was South Africa’s second gold medal at a Commonwealth Games having tasted success in Glasgow in 2014, while, incredibly, Fiji have never won the Sevens gold medal before.
The win was Team SA’s fourth gold medal of this year’s Birmingham Games after three days of competition.
Meanwhile, New Zealand beat Australia 26-12 to win the bronze medal.
