"It’s ridiculous. A trip to London is about 8k."

@skelmtau shared:

"I drive to Cape Town from Jozi last week, spent R4400 on petrol. It was cheaper than the R5800 I would’ve paid for flights and the R1800 on car rental for the weekend."

@iamsldj wrote:

"This is why I'm not traveling that much anymore. I use to pay R700 for a flight from CPT to Jozi. It is expensive now. It's ok I'll stay in Cape Town."

@GopzaPeme posted:

"We were considering a local holiday and prices came in at just about this amount. We decided to add an extra R3.5k and rather do an international holiday to two countries, one in Europe and the Middle East. It works out cheaper."

"This is a nice preview of what’s ahead if we say we’re okay with privatization."

@misha_alysson commented:

"Yeah, I've been equally horrified by the cost of a round trip to Cape Town. I can only imagine that local tourism is being hurt a lot as a result because so many of us just won't pay that price when 2 years ago it cost less than half of what it does now."

@abnernchene also said:

"Malema warned us, we thought he was talking nonsense."

@Lu_Mfeka added:

"I had to come to CT for a personal trip but at that price, I was like Nah, “We can sort out our problems via WhatsApp.” "
