I guess with the loss of Comair during COVID makes that even less sexy since JNB would be the only option in Africa.
Southern hemisphere 3-continent fares were first published when former Oneworld member LATAM commenced flying GRU-JNB
That made possible itineraries that included SYD/AKL-SCL, GRU-JNB and JNB-SYD
Once LATAM left the alliance such itineraries were no longer possible (though I'm not sure if LATAM was still flying GRU-JNB by that time)
Oneworld now has very poor coverage of Sth America (used to be very good coverage) and of Africa (was always quite poor coverage).
