Yes, you can finish anywhere in Africa (as defined* in the ticket rules). There are no issues with doing this.
If your final segment is to be Asia-->Africa, then you have no choice since the only oneworld flight available is CX's HKG-JNB (ditto if from SWP - the only flight is QF's SYD-JNB)
But from Europe there are a number of options from either LHR or MAD
* the ticket rules define the countries in North Africa (from Morocco to Egypt and including Sudan) to be part of the Europe/Middle East continent - and so you cannot end your ex-Africa xONEx in any of those countries
