NOTHING has changed at all??? even after almost a year I can still read comments about the unprofessionalism of these people in the embassy.. there's STILL a lot of South Africans, foreigners and filipinos complaining about them! complaining about the same thing! IF the embassy is doing really great for you to keep Leila and the rest of the rude staff, WHY ON EARTH there's still people complaining about their experience in the embassy??? WHY can't anyone do something about this??? South Africa, you're losing tourists and FACE coz of this people you employed.. wake up!
