By wording i understood that this lounge is operated by a third party for Qantas flyers. Ï'm not sure if this means that ONLY Qantas FFP members may join the lounge. Ie. Gold and Platinum. I assumed in a positive scenario, that maybe i could use the installations as OW Sapphire is equivalent to Qantas Gold. I'm not sure how to take it.
My interpretation - and it is just that, based on my experiences - is that you will only be allowed into those lounges with a ticket for the relevant flight.

But evidently you have just the right mixture of chutzpah and charm to achieve things that I never would.

But, if the two. Galleries Club and First are close each other or in the same enclosed space. I don't lose anything by politely asking.
Do you happen to have any JNB Galleries First and Club pictures?
Thanks Cheetah_SA
The two Galleries lounges are adjacent and share the same entrance. Go left to the smaller First lounge and right to the larger Club lounge and the shower/toilet suite. The main difference that I can remember is that the First lounge has windows overlooking the shopping concourse and has a gold coloured bar while the Club lounge bar is silver. I have no idea if the food/drink offerings differ.
Here are some photos of Galleries Club in JNB:
And one of Galleries First:
