Short answer
South African Airways is tracked from its official restricted-items page: power banks are carry-on only, not checked baggage, capped at 100 Wh / 27,000 mAh, individually packed against short circuit, not charged from in-seat or inflight power, not used during taxi, take-off, or landing, and not stored in overhead bins; spare lithium batteries are carry-on only with a 20-spare-battery general cap and two-unit handling for 100-160 Wh batteries.
