Well.... FWIW, NW/KLM zone coupons include Almaty in the Europe zone, so you would technically fly Europe to Asia, hence no extra zones transited.
KLM Flying Dutchman does allow travel, say, from CAI to CPT via AMS and it calculates at the intra-Africa level with Europe not factored into the calculation. I guess the best way to find out is to ask GlobalPass.
