If you are a British Citizen but you live in South Africa (he does?
not have South African Citizenship yet but is a resident for 5 years) and make your money by property trade, can you get deported back to the UK if the IRS finds that you have been cheating them on a huge amount of taxes, or will you get a fine or jailtime?

If you are a Brit living outside of the UK you don't pay UK taxes. There is no "IRS" in either the UK (it's HMR&C) or South Africa (it's SARS). The US IRS has no dog in that fight. Cheating on your SA taxes could certainly result in prosecution, fines, prison time, and deportation upon completion of your sentence.
