I am not sure I understand your situation.  I assume that you have zone

     domain.co.za

on a BIND 4.9 server and you want to place a sub-domain zone

     sub.domain.co.za

on a Windows DNS server.  I believe that all you need to do is add
this record to the parent

     domain.co.za

zone:

     sub     IN    NS    name.of.Windows.DNS.server.

And you might want to have the BIND 4.9 server be a slave for the
zone(s) on your Windows DNS Server.  I do not know if there are any
interoperability issues with MS Windows DNS Server and that very old
version of BIND.
