OW Explorer itin - is this okay?

Hi Folks,

I have a relatively simple OWE in the works and I am a bit nervous about the African segs - can I do this within the rules?

(side-ticket on SA JNB-Gaborone-JNB)
JNB-LHR
LHR-DXB
DXB-LHR
(side-ticket on BA LGW-TUN-LGW)
LHR-ACC

No it isn't - you can't enter Africa twice.

"Only one intercontinental departure and one intercontinental arrival permitted in each continent.
Exceptions: Two permitted in North America. when one is a transfer without stopover.
Two permitted in Asia when one is a transfer without stopover or on direct single plane service between the Southwest Pacific
And Europe.
For travel to/from or via Ghana/Nigeria two permitted in Europe when one is a transfer without stopover between
Ghana/Nigeria and another continent."

if you do not stop in LHR for over 24 hours after leaving ACC, then your ticket will be fine

Huh? The routing suggested still has two intercontinental arrivals in Africa. By what rule/exception would that be allowed?

Fiddlesticks. Thanks for all your comments - now I have a pressing return engagement with the drawing board.
