Since I wasn't having problems I didn't trace the route. Now I have.
It takes 21 hops from my player, Almost a third of them are within my ISP's domain. On the 9th hop I hit a server in Ashburn Virginia---the center of the Internet-verse---which is only 30 some miles away as the crow flies! It hops around some more until finally hitting the final three IPs that your trace did. So, yeah, even for me, a South African host seems to be the end of the line. The only thing I notice is that your output shows slower return times for them, almost twice as long. That, by itself, isn't any kind of smoking gun.
Good luck.
