On the other hand, suppose AT starts a non-stop on CMN-JNB. I don't know what the O&D is on that route, but timing-wise AT could become one of the most efficient one-stops from JNB to JFK.

The Oneworld announcement stated that

Under its ambitious five-year plan, it plans to expand its fleet significantly, carrying 13 million passengers a year across a global network serving 121 destinations in 68 countries. This will add another 15 destinations and nine countries to the alliance network – giving the alliance a total of 1,084 destinations in 187 countries and territories.

So my (totally uninformed) guess is that JNB will be one of Air Maroc's new destinations

In addition to JFK, the other North American ports served by Air Maroc might also get good connections in CMN to JNB.

But if the continent definition does not change, then on an xONEx such flights would be "touching" (and therefore paying for) Europe/Middle East
