Southern African Road Trip

I've just picked up my African Disco from the Main Stealers in Lusaka, Zambia Thursday.
Long story short, got away with an African "megaflush" (she's only got 160,000kms/100,000 miles!)
and a whole story about my rear dampers, etc which are now "sorted" (They have changed nothing!)
and a US$900 invoice!!
Other issues with a cracked rim and dodgy tyre (now sorted) wipers and various bits and bobs!
This is due to my "friends"who look after the vehicle.
Put my iiDT BT on her and have also cleared another whole posse of faults, only two Bodyscan ones coming back, so am holding thumbs!
Prepping for a drive down to Johannesburg after the Rugby this weekend.
Route: Lusaka, Kariba, Harare, Mutare, Chipinge, Chredzi/Triangle, Beitbridge, Pretoria, Johannesburg.
Approximately 2000kms.
In Zim we are having big problems (No surprises there!) especially with fuel. Apart from having an extra 25 litres tank with me, I will be topping up upon exit of Zambia and have arranged for fuel to be available in Harare and Chipinge.
Otherwise, along with my Carnet de Passage, I've sorted all the local insurances and whatnot, for 60 days, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia, South africa on the same payment. This was for $US20.
