This is because many of the airlines operating this route, such as fastjet and FlySafair, are low-cost airlines that don’t allow economy passengers to bring more than a personal item on board free of charge. To bring more luggage, it’s probably cheaper to upgrade your ticket rather than paying for extra baggage individually.
