Getting a little nervous as we're scheduled March 29 - April 5.

I have trip insurance but no idea whether that would cover my non-refundable costs/cancelation fees.

Wow, this sounds really imminent...feel terrible for the residents.
We are in the same position. We arrive in JNB on March 25th and our plans are 2 nights in Port Elizabeth, then 2 nights driving to CPT where we have a private rental property booked in Camps Bay from March 29 to April 6th. We then fly home from JNB.

I don’t know if we should reverse our itinerary and go to Cape Town first from March 25th to April 2nd and then drive to PE and have the last 2 nights there-of course it depends if the owner would agree to the change but it looks like the property is available on the alternate dates.

Or should we just continue with our original plans-we could always leave the Cape Town property early if things get really bad and book new domestic flights to JNB and spend the remainder of our time there-I grew up there so I’m sure we could find things to do.

Just don’t know?
