Booking a flight on Mango means you leave Cape Town for Johannesburg at 05.45 hrs and arrive at about 07.45 hrs . There is also 1Time, which leaves Cape Town at 06:45 and gets to Johannesburg at 08:45.
The South African Airways leaves at 06:00 and gets to OR Tambo at 08:00.This is one of the most expensive flights in South Africa together with British Airways. The latter lives Cape Town at 08:40 and takes two hours to get to Joburg.
Johannesburg is the centre of most of the flights that are within South Africa. Considering most of the routes locally you will see that they go via Johannesburg. For example, the British Airways flies from Durban to Nelspruit via Johannesburg. In fact the British Airways is the one with most stops in Joburg. Most of the other flights offer a number of direct flights from city to city across South Africa.
