What is the best sweet corn maize seed to plant? I want the one that can produce bigger corns.

I am in Australia and don't know the varieties you have available in South Africa. I would google search 'sweet corn seed' on your computer. There are three mail order seed companies that I am aware of in your country. They will have a range of sweet corn seed available and each will have details regarding colour, size and sweetness to choose from. I trust someone from your area will respond to your query with some suggestions. Trust this helps.
