BA58L blocks taxiway at Cape Town

Does anyone know why BA pushes back at Cape Town, taxis out and then requests to hold on the only taxiway to the active runways because they are "waiting for figures"?

Are they trying to push back on time when they are not fully ready or what? This occurs quite frequently and they end up blocking other aircraft that need to depart. Delays are up to 20 minutes.

Is this a BA policy?
