There is a lot of classes that earn differently here than in other programs, so I wouldn't take the comparison of G in other programs (or G from other carriers) as any proof of the opposite.
If the miles are not so important to you and you want to try it out, you could fly without adding any FF to your BP. Then retro claim with A3. If denied, then retro claim with another program. But you stand the chance of not getting any credit anywhere of course.
Since 2010, A3 has not included any mention of G fares flown on SA metal flights (not as earning, not as ineligible to earn). They have updated their Partner Airlines Earning Chart several times since then.
The only comparison I was making to other *A programs was that they DO list SA as having a G fare class & they let you know if (A) Eligible to Earn, or (B) Not Eligible to Earn.
