Welcome to FT!
For the arbitrarily selected dates I checked in the fall (October 4-18), you would need 80k miles on AA for two one-way economy reward flights (assuming award seats are available). Award flights using BA incur prohibitive surcharges, and award flights using Etihad cannot be booked online. For the same dates, RT economy flights BOS-JNB can be purchased for approximately $825 on various combinations of AF/DL/KL.
