Ghana finished with two wins and secured top place in Group C and play in Malabo in Sunday's quarter-finals.
Ayew capped a storming second half showing with a headed goal after John Boye had equalised in the 73rd minute.
A stunning volley from Mandla Masango after 17 minutes had South Africa 1-0 ahead at halftime.
