I believe awards to JNB at Christmas are difficult to get.

Wasn't yours an upgrade from C>F rather than Y>C?

Once OLCI starts and seating is under airport control I believe all waitlist requests are cancelled and must be requested again if still not cleared.
I think waitlisting for awards for SEN is an unofficial perk (with the possible exception of A380 F) but it still seems to work from time to time. Y to C upgrades with eVouchers (or miles) seems to be one of the very few remaining published HON perks left. I have a TATL booking in S which I managed to upgrade with eVouchers to try out the new Business on 748i on flights which did not show any C award availability.
