SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Luanda to Johannesburg. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
The geographic halfway point of the great-circle path between Luanda and Johannesburg lies at approximately 17.6585°S, 20.3106°E — the position that is an equal 1,240 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Johannesburg (Africa/Johannesburg) is 1 hour ahead of Luanda (Africa/Luanda) all year; daylight saving does not change the gap.
