Do I charge VAT as a Sole Proprietor earning less than R1 million turnover per annum? If so, do I need to be VAT registered?

If you turn less than R1m per annum then you cannot charge VAT as you are not required to register as a Vendor. However if yo wish to register you can do so as you have invoices greater than R50 000 and therefore can voluntarily register.
