Could be a number of reasons. I would think main reasons could be:

1. Weather avoidance on departure.

2. Airspace restrictions

3. Traffic separation

It does appear slightly odd. However, I departed JNB last weekend and there were numerous storms in the area. We were deviating around the cells for miles after departure.
