Mini and Maxi Movers staff stole our jewellery

On the 19th of October I got Mini and Maxi Movers (3 guys) to come and remove all my old furniture from my house as I am refurnishing my place.

They came to my house at 08:17 that morning and started removing furniture. They started removing furniture from the main bedroom (which I found strange because I thought they world start with the living room). They took the furniture down to the truck. My mother pointed out a few times that they were taking long by the truck and I had to her but they are only 3 guys. They came back up and then started in the other room (we were very confused about this but we accepted it because we thought they wanted to put things in strategically). Yet again they took long and I decided to go check up on them to see if everything was okay. When I got to the truck and I noticed they were indulged in a bag I recognised to well, This was my mother jewellery bag. I immediately shouted 'WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING???? YOU'RE STEALING OUR JEWELLERY!!!'. I started screaming for my boyfriend to come search them to recover something they took and at the same time demanded the bag back. One of the guys put back everything that was out of the bag and handed the bag over to me. I ran upstairs and showed my mother what they took, she was so shocked and I told her to see what is missing and we found 4 empty ring boxes.

I immediately phoned the owner/manager of Mini and Maxi Movers and he made it very clear that he didnt believe me because he states these guys are working for him for 11 years and will let them raise his children. He also stated 'that this is Africa and what can you do'. I am deeply disappointed in this company and the lack of support I got from the owner.

I honestly feel like the drivers for Mini and Maxi Movers came with the intent to look for valuable and steal it. I recommend anyone that is interested in hiring this company not to. They do their job but their intention is to steal.

After we gave the 3 guys a chance to hand over what they took they still said they don't have anything so we involved the police. The police searched them/ the vehicle, they made them unload the truck again to search it. They search the drains and the bushes and nothing was found. We couldn't recover what was stolen so all thats left to do is to warn people about this company and their drivers who are criminals.

This was my personal experience and would not recommend anyone uses this company (Mini and Maxi Movers).
