Immigration at Tambo remains open 24 hours. There are always middle of the night departures to other sub-Saharan counties.

Edited to add: an overnight delay on the 380 Jo’burg is invariably technical or crew going out of hours as a result of technical difficulties. Our inestimable CWS will doubtless be along to set your mind at rest.
