Why losing Gibraltar prevents Egypt from being supplied?

Historically, not to expose their convoys in the Mediterranean, the British supply Egypt bypassing Africa. As such, I do not understand why Egypt can't be supplied by South Africa.
It does not change the possible port supply interdiction of Alexandria by Axis.
But losing Egypt, because of supplies, because Gibraltar fell is very strange. The only impact for me is that the British Navy cannot enter the Mediterranean Sea through Gibraltar. And that Germany can now enter the Mediterranean Sea through Gibraltar.
