Flying from London to Johannesburg via Cape Town is not the shortest route, and probably not the cheapest route. However, if you want to see Cape Town's beaches before you head north to Johannesburg, you may wish to check the price of (1) flights from London to Cape Town, (2) flights from Cape Town to Johannesburg (there are buses, trains and low cost carriers flying this route).
The shortest flight path from London's Heathrow airport to Johannesburg's OR Tambo Airport is illustrated. An initial heading of 154° (South-East) is followed from London Heathrow (51°28'39"N 00°27'41"W), from which it is a distance of 9046km to Johannesburg's Oliver Reginald Tambo Airport (26°08'21"S 28°14'46"E).
A bit of history. The world's first commercial flight in a jet aircraft occured on the 2nd May 1952, when in the afternoon a de Havilland Comet flew 36 fee-paying passengers from London to Johannesburg. The flight was arranged by the British Overseas Aircraft Corporation (BOAC) and had stops in Rome, Beirut, Khartoum, Entebbe and Livingstone.
