This means that a guest that books Ethiopian i.e. Frankfurt-Addis-Johannesburg on a regular connection with let's say 2 hours layover will be fine. But if the connection is missed or the second leg cancelled at short notice etc it will not be acceptable for ET to rebook to next days flight as this would result in a layover more than 12 hours and consequently denied entry in South Africa. Wouldn't that be a good reason for a passenger to stress ET to be rebooked on another carrier?

It's really quite an issue to have a hub in a yellow fever country. ET i.e. also flies to Botswana and Botswana as per their rules (not sure if they are enforced though) is not accepting passengers that have transited in Ethiopia, even if they remained airside and were there just a single minute.
