I Love travelling with intercape but on 30 March I took the bus from Durban to Capetown.My big travelling case was soiled. It was dark when I embarked .i was horrified because i cant get the dirt off .I tried so many different things.It seems its grease.The driver who handed me my bag didnt even care .I had to ask him to give me a cloth to wipe some of the dirt.I paid almost R2000 for that bag and now its ruined.
