The struggling Stormers edged the Highlanders 29-28 in Super Rugby on Saturday, helped by three rare tries by prop forwards.
Frans Malherbe scored two, his first tries in Super Rugby, and replacement front-rower Oliver Kebble one to see the Stormers squeak home for just a third win in ten games this season.
Wing Damien de Allende also crossed to give the Cape Town-based team a four-try bonus point and lift them off the bottom of the standings.
Peter Grant came off the bench to kick the decisive penalty and the game's final points after New Zealand's Highlanders had overturned a 26-14 deficit to lead 28-26 and threaten a second straight win in South Africa after surprising the leading Sharks last weekend.
