Per rule sheet it appears not allowed to South Africa.
  1. Two permitted in Europe/Middle East for travel to/from/via Africa.

    If travel is to/from Europe in both directions, itinerary may not include Mauritius/South Africa.
Q. Can I have East Africa as the final segment with the origin being JNB? Such as JNB-Europe-Asia-SWP-LAX-DOH-ADD. If yes, can I transit DOH twice? JNB-DOH-Europe-Asia-SWP-LAX-DOH-ADD

Thanks
Indeed, even if you end in East Africa, since you began in South Africa (and vice versa) you cannot transit Europe twice. You can start in one part of Africa and end in another without issue, but they will be stringent on connecting twice through Europe, since they'll say that you could take Cathay or Qantas from JNB/CPT...
