Revolutionary greetings Ernst,
That R3,780 parking bill for just over two days is indeed steep and frustrating, many people share your pain with ACSA's on-site rates, especially if it's drive-in without pre-booking or a lost ticket scenario.
For next time, here are some much cheaper parking options you could have used (all off-site or pre-booked alternatives that typically cost a fraction of standard on-site drive-in fees for multi-day stays):
Pre-book ACSA long-stay parking directly via their app or website (e.g., Parkade 2 North or MSP areas). For 2025-2026 tariffs, pre-booked long-stay can drop to as low as R72 per 24 hours after the initial period (with up to 50% discount if booked 5+ days in advance). For 2-3 days, this often comes in under R500–R800 total, way below drive-in rates.
Off-site valet/meet-and-greet services. These are popular and secure, with shuttle or direct drop-off at the terminal: Companies like Dynamic Airport Parking, Faith Airport Parking, Elite Meet and Greet, Rainbow Parking, E Parking, EazyPark, Park To Fly, or Express Airport Parking. Rates for 2-3 days often range from R300–R700 total (sometimes as low as R150–R250 per day), with 24/7 security and valet service. Many beat on-site prices by 50–60%.
Booking platforms like ParkVia or Looking4Parking aggregate these and show deals starting around R150–R350 per day for long-term.
Park at Emperors Palace (very close by) for around R10–R20 per day (or low flat rates), then catch their free shuttle to the airport. It's underground, monitored, and a favorite budget hack mentioned by locals.
For alternatives to driving your own car to the airport at all (often the cheapest and stress-free overall for trips of a few days):
Gautrain: The most reliable and affordable public option. From central Joburg/Sandton/Park Station to OR Tambo, it's quick (around 15–30 min from Sandton) and costs roughly R40–R210 one-way depending on your starting station (e.g., Sandton to Airport ~R100–R150). No parking hassle, frequent trains, and safe. Check the Gautrain app for exact fares and schedules.
Uber/Bolt/taxi or rideshare: For one person or a couple, a return trip from most Joburg areas often costs less than multi-day parking (e.g., R200–R500 round-trip depending on distance). It's door-to-terminal.
Shuttle services — Many hotels, guesthouses, or dedicated airport shuttles (e.g., via hoppa or local operators) offer shared or private rides at competitive rates, especially if pre-booked.
Pre-booking anything (parking or transport) usually saves the most money and avoids surprises. Hopefully these options help next time.
A well planned trip can save you a lot.
Thanks. 🙏

A recent study by a South African
academic, Professor Nonhlanhla P. Khumalo, Head of Dermatology at the University of Cape Town, says people are badly exposed to blood-borne viral infections during haircuts at public barbershops.
Its findings apply to any similar environments in Africa, including Zimbabwe and elsewhere.
The November 2025 study, published in the South African Medical Journal, investigated the
risk of transmission blood-borne infections and viruses such as HIV, Hepatitis B (HBV), and Hepatitis C (HCV) through haircuts and their association with conditions like Folliculitis Keloidalis Nuchae (FKN).
Its core objective was mainly to determine if the popular "chiskop" - clean-shave haircut as it is widely called in township lingo in South Africa and the condition Folliculitis Keloidalis Nuchae (FKN) (keloid-like scars on the back of the head) - increase the risk of acquiring blood-borne diseases.
The findings are damning.
Men who regularly experience visible bleeding during haircuts are significantly more likely to be HIV-positive (OR = 2.51).
In a cohort of over 1 100 men, the overall seroprevalence was 17.2% for HIV, 6.9% for HBV, and 0.4% for HCV.
While FKN itself was not directly associated with a higher prevalence of these viruses, bleeding caused by the haircutting process is a confirmed risk factor.
One clipper from each barber was collected immediately after it had been used for a clean shave haircut.
Each clipper was rinsed with phosphate buffered saline and submerged in viral medium. Polymerase chain reaction testing was then used to identify a blood specific RNA marker, haemoglobin beta, as well as hepatitis B virus and HIV.
Chiskop or clean shave haircut was found to be the most popular yet risky hairstyle, accounting for 78% of clients.
Of the clippers collected, 42% tested positive for haemoglobin beta, confirming the presence of blood.
None however tested positive for HIV, while four clippers, representing 8%, were positive for hepatitis B virus.
Two clippers were positive on qualitative hepatitis B PCR testing.
Genetic analysis showed one sample clustering with genotype A sequences from South Africa, India, Brazil and Martinique, while another clustered with South African genotype D sequences identical to a subtype D sequence previously identified in Gauteng province.
While HIV was not detected on the clippers in that specific sample, 8% of the clippers tested positive for Hepatitis B (HBV).
The DNA copies found were sufficient to pose a legitimate transmission risk.
“This study confirms that there is significant contamination of barber hair clippers with blood and blood-borne viruses,” the study says.
“Hepatitis B was detected with enough DNA copies to pose a risk of transmitting infection. Although HIV was not detected in this small study, the risk of transmission should be quantified.”
Khumalo has a long history of research on haircut-associated virus risks, with the following studies associated with her works:
"Blood and virus detection on barber clippers": Published in the South African Medical Journal in March 2018.
"Invisible Bleeding from Clean-Shave Haircuts": Published in the journal Dermatology in October 2013.
"Folliculitis keloidalis nuchae, bleeding from haircuts, and potential HIV transmission": Published in AIDS Care in May 2008.
One of her critical contributions is the identification of "invisible bleeding".
Using sensitive RNA markers (hemoglobin beta and albumin), Khumalo's team proved that blood is often present on the scalp after a clean-shave haircut even when there are no visible injuries or cuts.
This suggests standard barbering practices can facilitate blood-to-tool-to-blood contact without the barber or client being aware of an injury.
In her recommendations, Khumalo called for more public awareness of viral infection risks, barber training, and stricter adherence to clipper sterilisation protocols in salons to prevent the spread of HBV and HIV.
