Edward--I think your agent is giving you some stuff, as I think if you have the miles, you can get the FF seats....

There are sites that you can buy/sell excess miles for business and first class seats. It is cheaper to buy these miles than to actually buy the business class seat.
As Greg mentioned, pay particular attention on what day you fly from Atlanta to CPT or Jo Berg. Every other day it stops at the other city first adding time to an already long flight.
Some time I would like to visit the Cape Verde Islands during daylight.

Sounds like the end of March 2006 according to the following from a press release I found on their web site.
JOHANNESBURG. 6 October 2005. South African Airways (SAA) will, once joining Star Alliance, end its code share agreement with Cathay Pacific, its partner to the Far East. SAA CEO Khaya Ngqula informed Cathay of this intention at a meeting between the airlines in September. "It is with extreme regret that we will no longer be able to continue this long and valued code share," said Ngqula. The code share agreement has been in place since 1999 and will end in March 2006. At this time, SAA will become a fully fledged member of the Star Alliance, while Cathay is a member of the Oneworld Alliance.
