From the photo, this link applies: If you can't redeem your App Store & iTunes Gift Card, Apple Music Gift Card, or content code - Take the card back to the store with the receipt and ask them to activate them. https://support.apple.com/HT201195#inactive

"Card is not activated

If you see a message that says that your card has not been properly activated, it might not have been activated by the retailer who sold the card. The best option is to go back to the retailer and try to resolve it with them."

From what you write, realize that a S. African card can only be used to charge an Apple ID if that ID's country is set to S. Africa. If yours is set to Nigeria then the Nigerian Apple system probably thinks you have a bad Nigerian gift card. You need to click on this link and read how to "Change your Apple ID country or region" --> https://support.apple.com/HT201389
