It means South African is not yet in *A. You need to check your program to see whether SAA is a partner. There's a link in the opening post to *A FFP partners, which I think is up to date.
Programs: HH Gold / SPG Platinum / PC Platinum / AC Elite

I'm debatting if I'll stay with AP for 2007-2008. I do, however really appreciate *A. Hence my dilemma, if I'm to change airline without having to rebuilt my status with the new airline, which *A airlines would offer status match for an AP Elite?
I've tried US a few times and loved it, but, since I'm travelling 50/50 between overseas and local/US any airlines would do assuming it meets my travel plans...

You can't status match directly within *A unless you have some special circumstances - eg moving continents. However you can still use your AC*G benefits even while still building up status on another *A program. Show your card to get lounge access, priority check in, priority baggage tags etc. Make your booking with AC FFP# to get access to preferred seating and then switch to other FFP # at check in. And so on.
