Delayed flight and kulula was sorry

So flying to durban I checked in online however I was a few minutes late to check in my bag not being a frequent flyer thinking it was gona be fine since I checked in online for boarding pass and baggage was a minor thing so I did not make the flight so I got a flight the next morning at R1700.I stayed the entire night in the airport now in durban I arrive so very early trying not to let that happen upon my return flight guess what the flight is delayed I know this is dependent on weather for landing and operational measures but guess what I don't think that's fair
