In terms of checking the bags through you can ask but the answer is very likely to be no. In fact my understanding is that bags must be claimed and taken through customs anyway at the first arrival point in South Africa so tbh even if checked through you would have to reclaim and recheck anyway.
This is correct. There is no point asking to through-check to CPT as you must claim the bags at JNB, clear them through customs and then check them in again even if you are on one ticket.
