Thank you!
Welcome!!
You will need to check with BA if they will interline the bags with SA, if so, then you go straight to International Connections - your luggage will be transferred, BUT, and this is important, if you have a three hour transit time: LOCK YOUR LUGGAGE. Even if you must shrink wrap it.
If interlining is not possible, then you will have to go through Immigration, collect your luggage, then back upstairs to check in. In which case, three hours is sufficient.
Safe trip.
