So your BA avios award flight DFW-IAD was cancelled: trip in vain. So talk to BAEC for a refund. You may/may not be successful.
Anything else is for your travel insurance.

You subsequent Star Alliance flight IAD- South Africa is nothing to do with AA or BA. Any problems with that are for your travel insurance

In some ways, as separate flights you self insured. Works sometimes, but not always.
