APMWC East London Butterworth recent customer reviews

I am very disappointed, the bus didn't come, no communication at all, i had to take my own airtime and money to ask whats happening, only for them to lie and say the bus was early, then i had to request an uber to their EL office and when i get there i found out that there was no bus for that day.
