That Pongola Rd is a complete fsckup.. I did it last Xmas and it scared the living shyte out of me at the time.

Where is this road? Anywhere on way from Jozi to St. Lucia? I see a Pongola town on N2 but no pongola road yet.

Thanks, will take a look. One colleague just said that same section of N2 is terrible but as per him, it was mainly due to crazy truck driving but apparently road condition is not "that" bad now.

In all honesty, the N2 is mostly OK so long as you keep your eyes open and don't drive it when visibility is poor...

To Sodwana we turn off after Pongola and go past the dam. Hoping it's ok from there. Ermelo to Pongola also not the greatest. Still not looking forward to it jis.

N3 seems a sound bet then, even if it adds 200km and time. We did durban trip last year and don't recall much hassles apart from obvious damage from flood.

So the N3 is generally good.. the portion between PMB and DBN is a bit of a shitshow but only because of the road works causing traffic...

The N3/N2 in Durban up to Umhlanga is the same but also only because of road works. The roads themselves are fine.

Yeah.. I am choosing the known devil over unknown.

Unless you've driven in DBN in the last month.. trust me, its a devil you probably don't know
