Previously my business trips used to be from Asia to Europe, but today I travel increasingly to Africa - just in order to discover how bad the Oneworld connections are within the African continent.

It is amazing that Oneworld seems to be very reluctant to expand. No new members have been welcomed for years (even if Malev and Air Berlin "passed away" in the meantime). Why not let Royal Air Maroc join? Or Namibia Airways? Or even Rwandair? It is virtually impossible to travel on Oneworld carriers within the African continent!

Yes, some Oneworld carriers like BA and QR do fly also to other destinations in Africa and not only to JNB. But still in terms of connecting OW flights - at least outside of South Africa - even these carriers have very little to offer.
