Getting to FIFA World Cup 2010: Jo'burg, Cape Town, etc.

Matches for the FIFA World Cup 2010 run from June 11 to July 11:

I'm looking for ways to get there without losing an arm and a leg in the process. I'm sure many others are interested in getting there as well, and award availability will be hard to find.

The goal of this thread is to share low fares to Jo'burg, Cape Town, etc. Tricks may or may not be involved. Simply post the origin and destination (hopefully South Africa, but maybe others if the fare is compelling enough). You may also include stay duration and carrier/alliance. If the thread gets really long, I'll try to keep track of things in this post.

OK, I'll start it off:

Lowest fare:

*A: LON-JNB $619


------------------------------------

Departing North America:

OW: NYC-CPT $2037
ST: NYC-JNB $1738
*A: LAX-JNB $1692

Departing South America:

OW: GIG-JNB $1537
ST: GRU-JNB $2120
*A: GRU-JNB $1561

Departing Europe:

OW: FRA-CPT $1155
ST: LON-JNB $967
*A: LON-JNB $619

Departing Asia:

OW: Nothing special
ST: BOM-JNB $692
*A: BOM-JNB $663

These are all economy fares. Please post your own findings.
