I cant see the B744 fleet being reduced any further based on the current schedule.

The SFO flight needs were taken from the cessation of 744 services ex SYD/ MEL to LAX with AA taking over according to the qantas release at the time. Any JNB reductions would have been the result of the cessation of the codeshare with SAA and subsequent reduction in bookings.
"Qantas’ flights to San Francisco are made possible by American Airlines starting a direct daily Sydney to Los Angeles service from 19 December 2015. This will replace four Qantas’ B747 Sydney to Los Angeles services per week and one Qantas B747 Melbourne to Los Angeles service per week"
