Sure it can, but they'll place the A350 on longer non-stop segments first where it's payload would be more useful and it's lower fuel burn more advantageous. So, JNB-JFK, JNB-HKG, JNB-CAN (starting next year) will all come first, and even then, the remaining A340-600 routes like JNB-FRA after that. JNB-ACC-IAD is fairly far down the list for SAA to place the A350.
