It's only a guess but Turkey was probably dropped because of the instability in the country. Argentina had some issues as you mentioned also.
They should not have the last rounds somewhere far away though. Since the cars are shipped back from Argentina (guess they will ship them back from South Africa too), there is little time to get the cars ready for the coming season unless you build new cars.
Having a round so far away and then having to ship the cars over there is not good either. Firstly, you have to go across the globe for a result that probably won't matter unless you can make the podium. Like for example, the title has already been decided and drivers far back don't have much too drive for except winning the round.
Secondly, the break is so long. I mean shouldn't it be better having South Africa earlier in the season? Waiting over a month for the last round feels a bit odd.
