From my reading of the information you will need a transit visa since you are connecting to a country bordering ZA. (Kind of an odd rule that...)

As for entering the country: transit without visa, when it is allowed, is for pax staying airside unless otherwise stated. ZA is not one of the exceptions.
This is a bizarre rule ........ I need a transit visa to fly to JNB just to connect to connections (Botswana, Namibia) etc etc., Yet - If I was to transit in JNB onwards to say, Livingstone or Rio etc etc., (not a neighboring country) - I don't need a transit visa. Most bizarre .........
