CHIHWA Harare Cape Town recent customer reviews

Very terrible service from Chihwa. People went to board the bus on Sunday 12th as booked only to be told at the office that there is no Sunday bus and return on Tuesday. They did not even bother to communicate prior. Then Tuesday again there was no bus. What an inconvenience. Will never use that bus again and i will also advice my friends and family to never use it. Greatly dissappointed

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
