Never delivered wooden kitchen countertop, will not refund deposit

I employed the services of Quinton Griessel of Dencor Projects SA (Pty ) Ltd (reg 2016/039666/07) on 06 Sep 2018, to construct and install a wooden kitchen island countertop at my home. I paid R3000 deposit immediately and Quinton informed that it would take a week to make and install. 06 Sep: Paid deposit R3000. 14 Sep: Had an appointment to install but he never arrived. 26 Sep: After repeated messages saying he was on track to install, never arrived. 04 Oct: Never arrived for 3rd installation appointment. 12 Oct: Agreed to refund my R3000 deposit. 15, 16, 18, 23, 24 Oct: Repeatedly promised to do the refund – not done. I am now pursuing the option of recovering my deposit via the Small Claims Court. This man has repeatedly lied about being on route to install the countertop and repeatedly failed to honour his undertaking to refund the deposit that he received. He has ignored my telephone calls.
