Hopefully it should not be an issue but I would want to be sure before booking!
No issue at all.
OR Tambo baggage transfers are actually relatively efficient nowadays. I've had a tracker in my bag the last few times I've gone through the airport and it usually tends to process in under 30 minutes from offload to makeup area.
