No. For Reg 261/2004 to apply, the flight segment on which the incident occurs must be within the scope of the Reg. Here, the flight in question is a Kulula flight between CPT and JNB, which is clearly out of the scope of Reg 261/2004. If there was a downgrade, delay, cancellation or IDB on the JNB-CDG segment on AF, then the Reg would apply.
