Lynda Bennett, Barry Wynks and Mark Noble were pipped by South Africans Deon van de Vyver, Roger Hagerty and Derrick Lobban in the final 13-11.
The New Zealanders trailed early on, but fought their way back to 7-7 after seven ends.
Going into the final end, the South Africans led 12-11. They took one to stretch their winning margin to two.
