Garydloo is correct. The rules states:

So you can either:
enter Europe the first time from one of the listed countries and just transit to another continent - e.g. NBO-xLHR-LAX...
or
enter Euorpe the second time from another continent and transit to one of the listed African countries - e.g. HKG-xLHR-NBO

(or vice versa for both of course)

Your intinerary on the other hand has you transiting Europe from JNB and later your are stopping at various places in Europe and finally transiting LHR to NBO.

The rule is that your are allowed to transit Europe, not that you are allowed to transit LHR

So a re-worked valid itinerary is:

JNB-LHR-BUD-HEL-MAD-CAI//AMS-HKG-PEK-NRT-HKG-JKF-MIA-MEX-YVR-DFW-JFK-LAX-xLHR-NBO
