Well I just had a quick play on Skyscanner entering dates 20-27 February business class return and MUC/CPT/MUC with Emirates came up as circa £2,400 with the cheapest being Turkish at a shade above £2,000 or LON/CPT/LON prices started at less than £2,000 with Ethiopian via ADD (and Ethiopian are good) with Emirates at circa £2,400 again.
