There are a quite a few variables with this question so it really is impossible to give a definitive answer. The most obvious question is when you want to travel, as the price changes depending on the time of year that you want to go.
Other questions include whether: You want a return ticket; will you be travelling alone; and you can take advantage of any of the discounts that are on offer. For example, if you are not travelling alone, you may be able to take advantage of the block booking discount, which will typically save you five per cent on the total price. If you are a student, or a senior citizen you could also save five per cent on the price.
Even where you would like to sit on the bus can make a difference to the price!
Periodically, there are other offers too, that could save you even more money, so it is certainly worth checking out prices before you just go ahead and book your journey.
You will be able to find all the details of your planned journey from Johannesburg to Cape Town (which takes 18 hours) on the Internet. The web address for Greyhound is www.greyhound.co.za/
There are, of course, other bus operators so do not just book with the first one that you come across.
Naturally, some services will be better than others, so if you know someone who has done this journey before you, or who has used the bus company that you are considering using, ask them what they think. Eighteen hours on a bus is a very long time, so comfort is something that you really need to take into consideration, especially if you have any special needs or will be taking children with you.
