Road Report - getting to & from Kruger

[Richprins]

No, nana!

[Pumbaa]

Any recent road closures on the N4 from Johannesburg to Malelane???

I am sure the recent road block is meanwhile gone?

[Mel]

I should hope not, Pumbaa... and should hope it'll stay that like that all the way to April, because we're on a VERY tight schedule to make the camp in time on the first night

[Richprins]

Leachy says still the same, 2 stop and go's on Ngodwana N4, so take Schoemanskloof and hope for no trucks, IMO! No roadworks after that, only after Malelane.

[Pumbaa]

Thanks Mel and Richprins,

we do have a spare night so everything should be fine but I know how it is when you are on a tight schedule

[Mel]

Sugar... No good... And I don't think it'll be any different in two months' time
First night will probably be in P'kop or something, I fear

I think Machado is the most expensive tollgate in the country...

Also, petrol levy will be going up by 30c per litre in SA after budget speech earlier this week...

[Mel]

What class do I need to look at with a minibus and a Fortuner respectively?

[Richprins]

1st class!

And Mpumalanga have the most toll-gates in the Southern Hemisphere

Come to the Western Cape , where we only have one in the entire province
And the probability is that we will not get any more within the near future because we fought against SANRAL before they could implement tolls
