Go find a physical globe and get some sticky tape. Draw a straight line with the tape from where you are to South Africa. You'll see it goes directly east.

For me here in the UK to reach the USA I have to point my beam north west. If I point it west that gets me the Caribbean and Mexico. If I want Australia I have to point it north east even though on a flat map of the world Australia is south east.

Your problem is you're applying 2D thinking to a 3D shape and that doesn't work.
