CX-KQ interchange in JNB
 

We'll be arriving CX from HKG transferring onto KQ to NBO. Is there an airside transfer facility or does one have to enter the RSA and check in again for the connecting flight?

Yes, there is an airside facility. Make sure you follow the signs, it is not too difficult to walk right past it, especially if you have been bused to the terminal from a remote stand.

The single KQ desk should be in the far left hand corner, next to the KL desk. Once you have checked in and been issued a boarding card you need to go through security before taking the elevator or stairs up to departures.

Thanks but Forgot to ask
 

Any advantage in doing so, such as to avoid paying airport taxes?

No airport taxes payable locally.

Unless you want to leave the airport (e.g. to have a meal in the Intercontinental Hotel Restaurant just across the street. The airport restaurants, if one can call them that, are atrocious), I wouldn't go to the trouble of clearing immigrations.

Since we're flying in CX FC, we might as well make use of the arrivals lounge at the IC. Have some 4 hours to kill at any rate.

Any comment on the KQ/KL lounge?
