So whenever anybody needs to book an SA codeshare, just check the operating carriers actually interline.
I can add to this that when changing from SA Express to Mango check in couldn't check the bags all the way so we had to wait for the bags at JNB and then re-check them.

90 minutes between flights(as in mycase) should be ok but I can't see why SAA sells these tickets.
