Airport is so congested with workers, possibly because it also functions almost like a mall. Understandable! You can find almost anything you can find in a city mall, from foo to clothing. Good thing is you can never get bored! The presence of security personnel with their arms and airport personnel asking for cash can also be a little unnerving but the place feels more secure than it was 10 years back.

Poor service from staff at OR TAMBO! Unhelpful and showed no interest and very unfriendly. Spoke in native language passing comments with other staff.
