Instead I just booked a r/t Biz class ticket on UA/SAA (via the ultra-stable South African Airways website) to JNB for $8,599.80 for a week in Feb. I couldn't wait for delta.crap to work since my client insisted on my purchasing the ticket now.

Delta - this is actually costing you revenue...??
Send them an email and let them know. There is clearly a failure to comprehend that this isn't just a minor annoyance with respect to checking SkyMiles account history or choosing a seat... it is costing them major revenue.
