You say AA Capetown is doing the ticketing, but where does your itinerary start from?

If it starts in the Americas, then they are correct. If not, then they are wrong.
The rule regarding ticketing is
5. RESERVATIONS AND TICKETING
(a) Reservations and Ticketing
For travel originating in TC1
Reservations for the first international flight and all preceding flights are required at least 7 days prior to departure of the first flight. Subsequent segments may be open-dated. Tickets must be issued at least 7 days in advance of the first flight.
Exception:
For economy class reservations made 22 or more days before departure, tickets must be issued at least 21 days before departure.
For travel originating in TC2/3
Reservations for the first international flight and all preceeding flights must be made prior to departure. Subsequent segments may be open-dated. Tickets may be issued up to one hour prior to departure

My bolding
TC1 = Nth & Sth America
TC2 = Europe & Africa
TC3 = Asia & Sth West Pacific
