Is it safe to travel from jhb to durban by car in the first trimester(week 5)? with regular stops and as a passenger not the driver ?

Should be no problem: There should be no problem. Since it is a 586km drive and will take you about 6-8 hours, you should plan on stopping every 2 hours for bathroom breaks and to walk around a little. Make sure you are drinking lots of water as road trips can be dehydrating, and make sure you eat lightly so that you will not get carsick or nauseaous.
