I didn't enjoy anything, spending more than 24hrs on the bus. Boarded the bus at exactly 12pm but left Harare at around 4pm. The bus was stopping at almost ever bustop. The bus had a break down we had to stop in the middle of nowhere at midnight. As I am typing this we are still on the way between Messina and Louis. We don't even know how much more time we need to get to Joberg. Honestly speaking I am disappointed and I vow never to use this bus again.

I took the bus to and from Johannesburg / Harare. Despite the bus being clean and well equipped, the bus from Johannesburg was 2 hours late. We were supposed to stop for 1 hour at Bosman Station, but we stopped for just above 1 hour 30 minutes. The bus came with a trailer, but it seemed like it was already carrying goods. There wasn't enough space for passengers bags, some had to carry bags on their laps. I encountered similar problems and concerns with both buses. Communication was made in Shona. The buses would just pull off at refreshment stops and boarders without checking if everyone was back on the bus. My friend and I were left behind at the boarder, we had to run after the bus, thank goodness for the boom gate.
