Answer:
Do a search for a South African centered SA-US immigration forum.
A good forum that discusses the headaches of immigration to US and is not specific to any one country is http://www.visajourney.com
For specific information about visas available in SA, go to the US Embassy in Pretoria. Diplomatic Mission actually, seems we don't have a full Embassy there. This link is the the visa info home page on their site.

There is a Diversity Visa available ... this is a ticket for the annual Green Card lottery drawing. This offers a chance to folks who don't otherwise qualify for one of the usual immigrant visas.

check out the immigration section on usa.gov, it will help direct you to he correct procedures. The most common problem with obtaining the visas is the persons lack of kowledge on the process itself.
The main problem with your situation is that she is only a friend and that is why you cannot petition for her to come her. The only way she can come here as an immigrant ( legal ) is to have some kind of highly demanded skill or studies. If by any chance she already has close relatives here then they can file for a visa for her to come here... if not then there is a slim chance to none that she can immigrate to the U.S.
Good luck with your situation!
