You’ve probably been too slow, you need to be online or on the phone at T-355 for very popular routes like CPT (see the myriad articles and threads on this site about this!)
You could get a cancellation, or your 241 might open up extra availability in the coming months, but there are no guarantees and on this route it’s unlikely BA would make more standard award seats available.
People on here have done a workaround by booking on BA to JNB (which has better availability) then getting a connecting internal flight to CPT.
