Hi all,

On a recent trip to Durban mid December for work, I can vouch for the road conditions. All I can say at this stage is that it's an organised mess. So anyone having planned to travel down and didn't research road conditions, was in for a nasty surprise that caused an extra one and half hours onto the existing travel time.
