Hello FDeMoulin,
I was in JNB last week on a connecting flight. You are correct, BA does not have an arrival lounge. I did use the Priority Pass arrival lounge, it is just after customs but BEFORE you exit the arrival gates. It is a very, very basic lounge, with good shower facilities, a decent cappuccino and wifi.
It seems that you have access to the SAA lounge with Air Mauritius:

I would have thought that this would be a better option than PP lounge.
An important change to note: If your BA and Air Mauritius flights are on different tickets, BA will only check your luggage to JNB. You will need to collect them, go through security and recheck your luggage.
Good luck!
