It looks like they are all possible except for Caracas. Every flight I check goes through the states before hitting Caracas. Are there any flights from any of the above mentioned cities to Caracas?
The closest I can find for SA - North Africa is from Buenos Aires or Rio to MAD or London, then transfer down to Cairo or Casablanca/Tangier. Are there any direct flights from SA - Cairo, Tangier or Casablanca?
Correct there aren't any South America - Africa flights on oneworld. There is a RG flight from JNB to GRU however, so maybe a Star Alliance RTW might make more sense. (South African also flies this route, they are scheduled to enter the Star Alliance sometime next year). However their South America network is spotty, so you'd end up having to route through Brazil for most flights. (exceptions are SCL-EZE on AC/LH)
Not sure if you could do:
JNB-GRU-EZE-SCL-GRU-LIM-GRU-CCS on Star.. definitely a bit out of the way..
For Africa to Cairo, you would have to do:
JNB-LHR-CAI
Either that, or
JNB-NBO
then buy a separate ticket NBO-CAI
