As I understand the thread: no transit visa is required as my layover is less than 24 hours but I need to change terminals, will this be an issue?
Hoping someone can help!
I'd strongly recommend plugging your details into the link below (e.g. your passport may make a difference) and see what it says. Assuming you have an SA passport then you DO need a transit visa and are not eligible for TWOV (Transit without Visa).

This links to the database that airlines use to decide permissibility of your travel so it's a good source. I'd also talk to the Algerian embassy in your country of residence.
