It was extremely bad, my daughter had to sleep in a room with 2 males that she didn’t know because the bus that picked them up from Cape Town was late then the connecting bus to Bulawayo left her. There are no help lines where I can reach the offices at night. The services are horrible. No accountability at ALL🙄
