Not currently, but probably there will be soon.

lax-lhr-dxb-lhr (this is where I would like to go to CPT or JNB)
lhr-syd-drw-per-hkg-sin-nrt
or put another way
nrt-hkg-jfk-sju-lax-dfw-anc-dfw-lax-lhr-dxb-lhr (how to go to CPTor JNB and then) syd-drw-per-hkg-sin-nrt
The validator does not allow LHR-CPT-LHR.
Right, you can't return to Europe from South Africa, so you need to take the QF flight to SYD or keep it as a DONE4 and go JNB-HKG.
Alternatively, you can pay your own way from southern Africa to one of the three cities (NBO, DAR, EBB) served as dead-ends by BA, from which a transit-only pass back through LHR is allowed. Thus, for example, LAX-LHR-DXB-LHR-CPT-JNB//DAR-xLHR-SYD... would be allowed.
QF64 is tough sometimes, especially during the southern summer. Last year when we used it (August) for some reason QF held all the D seats for Mondays only - D9 on Mondays, D0 the rest of the week. They're not like the rest of us Earthlings, those yield management entities.
