It's an old rule. You can easily get back to MRU if you fly MRU-JNB-Asia... or MRU-JNB-Australia... The problem is for those wanting to fly MRU-Europe-... and then Asia or SWP.
There is also one known case of BA in MRU making a mistake and allowing just what you want, but it was a mistake, so I would not count on them repeating the error.
