This article is solely based on my personal experience with Djam bus company. Djam has the worst ever bus service. It took us four days from Johannesburg, South Africa to Blantyre, Malawi.
After buying the bus ticket for R1600 and paying for luggage R1800, when the bus departed Newton bus station, passengers still had to contribute more money enroute. The reason for this was that since the permit for the trailer was expired and the drivers did not have the required south african driving permits as they had foreign drivers licence, we had to bribe the police enroute.
In Mozambique at the Cuchamano border, the crew had to ask passengers for addtional money to pay for the road permit in Mozambique. Whilst still in Mozambique the bus parked at an Engen filling station in Changara and asked passengers for addtional fuel money as the gauge was low it would not be enough to reach Malawi.

I failed to comprehend why the bus company does not make sure that they have all the required permits which are up to date. The company should also give the crew enough money for fuel, tolls and road permits. By the time one reaches Malawi, the trip would have easily cost you more than R5,000.00 due to the disorganisation of Djam bus company.
As a Malawian i would advise For those travelling to Malawi to avoid 850 Djam bus company at all costs. There are more better organised buses that won’t ask passengers for contributions. The following are the buses are i recommend:





Sorry for everything
That’s the problem of unknown buses

From Johannesburg to musina they use the road via bela bela far away from highway patrol cause they don’t have valid certificates. Hope you arrived safely in Malawi at the end of the days

The disease may start while in the chest spot and propagate to other body parts. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include weight loss, severe breathing in trouble, throwing up, difficulty ingesting, and infection of the face and neck areas. It ought to be noted that some people with the disease never experience any serious signs or symptoms at all.

Thanks for the helpful posting. It is also my belief that mesothelioma cancer has an very long latency time period, which means that signs of the disease might not exactly emerge until finally 30 to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos fiber. Pleural mesothelioma, that’s the most common kind and impacts the area throughout the lungs, could cause shortness of breath, chest muscles pains, along with a persistent cough, which may cause coughing up body.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
