Hi. Easiest way to repair your KML file is using an XML-aware text editor such as NotePad++ then editing the KML file which must be a well-formed XML file.

Some steps to repair bad KML file are described here:

Kapi,
To help you out since you seem overloaded, I used Notepad++ (which is excellent, btw) and went straight to the line/columns in error.
You should get to know the internals of KML and HTML as your problem was in actual fact one problem repeated in two different places:

Duplicated CDATA termination characters (preceded by a js "//") before the </description> tags for the following placemarks.
The duplicates were before the embedded </script> - I deleted these "//]]>". The remaining, correct, terminators after the </html> were left in place. :

<Placemark id="22.2.8">
<name>Tempest Car Hire - Braamfontein</name>
and
<Placemark id="21.1.3">
<name>University of Johannesburg: Doornfontein Campus (Esc) Libra</name>

If you weren't the person who generated these tags, let that person know about this.
It only took me a few minutes to correct, plus another 5+ to write this reply...
