The intercape bus was literally a deep freezer because the air-conditioning were placed on extremely high. It was a horrific experience as we had to travel for 15 hours in these freezing bus with a bus attendant known as Themba who was yelling and shouting the commuters. Refusing to adjust the air conditioning. Commuters were all dressed up in winter clothes in the midst of December.
