Is this a valid for *A award:

SEA-IAH-GRU on Contiental, stopover in GRU
GRU-JNB on SAA nonstop
(another option is SEA-IAH-EZE-JNB)

return JNB-FRA-SEA on Lufthansa

Looks like SEA-IAH-GRU-JNB is only 1,000 more than SEA-FRA-JNB.

Anyone knows MPM for SEA-JNB?

You could do it but normally North America-South Africa is 90k going through Europe (Europe-South Africa is 60k). However since South America-South Africa is 110k miles you'd pay that higher mileage amount.
