TNDave - unless Delta is the only airline you'll fly on, there are several other routes/airlines that will get you to RSA. Qatar, Ethiopian, Lufthansa, Turkish and if not now, soon Emirates.
Do these airlines fly direct to RSA from the US? The Delta flight was a direct flight from Atlanta to Joburg. I did that in 2018. I had plans to return this year but have already pushed to 2022 and have those dates locked. If I could find a direct flight from the US to RSA by another carrier I may try to go later this year as there are deals to be had!
