Horrible, I will never ever again use Mavumisa, we waited at Cape Town, small bus showed up to pick us up so that they can change at Laingsburg that time I don’t have a seat and we were 3 the bus was supposed to leave at 7..got to Laingsburg past 1, we left past 3, only getting to Nqamakwe past 4 whereas I was supposed to get at Nqamakwe at 8:30, very poor service. No apologies from the drivers instead they have ego as if we didn’t pay…
