relatively easy to find, I am having a hard time finding specific information on what booking class earns what (i.e. booking class V on LH earns XX% of distance flown).
Is there a page anywhere where this information has been published? It would really help in evaluating whether the programme is worth it.
Many thanks for any and all replies!

I've never seen SAA publish a list of comprehensive fare codes and what they earn for each partner - but your supplied link provides the information for Full Fare Y, and F & C - any discounted economy fares will be as per the "Additional Information" - there may still be codes that don't earn anything. I always found the
DC how to earn list as a good reference for what you might expect on Voyager
Voyager aren't a particularly good FFP in my opinion (especially in terms of redemptions), and I think you would much better off continuing to credit to DC. You certainly don't get any additional miles crediting to Voyager than you wouldn't get on DC (in fact on Voyager most airlines C tickets get 125% miles, where as on DC it would be between 150-200% & First on Voyager is pretty pathetic at only 150%). If you are worried about the future of DC - then I suspect M+M would win out in a comparison with Voyager.
