SAA's London Flight out of Cape Town in trouble?

Got the tail end of the news today that SAA Cape Town to London flight shut down an engine after T/O in FACT due to compressor stall and went to Johies! Pax seemed pretty peed off because they were given conflicting info by the crew - this was apparently caused by orders from "up top" in Johies to the crew not to land back in Cape Town but to get to Johies as an engine change would be "easier" there. Captain's decision should be the criteria should it not?
