It's quite annoying that I can find Comair availability for intra-South Africa flights, but it would be incredibly stupid to use my points because there's a $44 "fee" for BA award travel. The ticket I was looking at was only US$78, so paying 4000 points and $44 is ridiculous. And, of course, most major markets have Kalula and Mango flights that are sometimes even cheaper. I guess BA doesn't care. But doesn't this make the Avios program pretty much worthless to South Africans?
