Bus was suppose to leave Harare at 10h00 on Friday, 31 March 2023, was then told bus was leaving at 6pm that evening, it eventually only left after 10pm that evening. When the bus got to Beaufort West, the bus was impounded as the licence of the bus expired the day before. Another bus was arranged which only left late evening. Not impressed with the service
