What things cost in Johannesburg

Prices in Johannesburg spread far wider than any single "from" figure suggests, and 94% of the catalogue can be cancelled free of charge. So the useful question is not what the cheapest ticket costs, but which band buys which kind of day.

That is in line with South Africa as a whole, so price alone should not decide where you spend your days.
