Another example is probably you have your children is studying in United Kingdom and you want to frequently travel there look after. For that purpose you want to pick a CBI passport that has visa free access to UK and Ireland.
In both these cases you dont want to apply for the wrong CBI passport.
In the first case, scenario Turkey and Antigua are very good passports that have visa waiver to South Africa. In the second case, Montenegro and Moldova passports do have visa waivers to United Kingdom or Irelands, these passports probably dont fit for you.
