When connecting to get to JNB, just be aware that the T5 Galleries Lounge is in the main part of T5 and you'll likely be leaving from a satellite concourse of T5 (B and C gates). It can be easy to lose track of time, and the transfer to a satellite concourse can sometimes take longer than expected, so it might not be a bad idea to head to the satellite lounge when it gets closer to boarding time if you're leaving from the B gates. This lounge isn't as nice (it's a Business Class lounge), but it's still just fine.
If you've been to the Pier in HKG, it's just like that! Really a phenomenal lounge (they just finished renovations a few months ago). It puts all other lounges, especially the Admirals Club, to shame.
Hope this info helps, and if you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.
