it's a MPM fare and you can hop around South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe ,

You can also route through JNB twice for some really creative ones like the below,

2 stopovers free each direction too but remember JNB to GRU needs a Yellow Fever Cert!!

Strictly no hopping around South America , Its specific to one flight direct from JNB to GRU

Excellent for seeing parts of Africa that are normally cost prohibitive,

Ignore the dates below this is just to give you some ideas

A great find ^^^, thanks for posting.

Using your routing, searching for some random days in November, ITA matrix had a suggestion of an extra stop in PLZ in the "Flight 4", ie in all reading:
CPT-PLZ-JNB-WDH-JNB-GRU-JNB-VFA-JNB-DUR-PLZ-CPT = 640 TPs. This did not increase the price. Will check Comair's routes, there might be a possibility to add more segments?

Although this itinerary also is containing a TATL return, it still is a deja vue of the mega-run to PTY. Need to fill up with 5 segments more though

Now for the bad news. LA's 767 business cabin gets lousy reviews. Obviously lie-flat seats, but narrow and outmoded, and service does not impress. Will have to think more than twice...
