Bowling first, the Proteas dismissed the tournament debutants for a meagre 19 all out in 9.1 overs with Nthabiseng Nini (3/4) starring with the ball.
Fay Cowling, Seshnie Naidu, and Kayla Reyneke claimed a brace each.
Five Samoan batters failed to open the account while captain Avetia Mapu and Stella Sagalala managed three runs each.
The innings' top scorer, so to say, was the fielding side, who conceded six extras. And the chase ended in 10 deliveries.
South Africa, with two wins in two, have qualified for the Super Six.
Nigeria, who had earlier stunned New Zealand to hand a second successive defeat, are second and will most likely join their African rivals in the next stage of the tournament.
Samoa next play New Zealand, while South Africa face Nigeria, both on Wednesday.
