SERIAL *****STER - WARNING TO ALL POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS
Company Being Reviewed: 24-7 MAINTENANCE (Also trades as: MS Elect and Solar, 786 Energy & Projects, Creative Electrical Contractors, Creative Projects Management Services, CPMS (PTY) LTD, ARMAC Trading) ⚠️ WARNING: DO NOT HIRE THIS CONTRACTOR UNDER ANY NAME ⚠️ I am writing this review to warn the public about Mogamat Shamiel Arendse, who operates under MULTIPLE company names and has de*****ed at least 6 victims (that I know of) between 2023-2025 for over R23,800. MY EXPERIENCE: Found him through Bark.com in November 2025. He quoted R10,000 for bathroom repairs at my Table View property, requested 50% deposit (R5,000) which I paid on 25 November 2025 to Nedbank account 1321217021. He started work on 26 November, then COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED. No longer answers calls, ignores WhatsApp messages. Left my bathroom in WORSE condition than before: - Non-functional bathtub (tenants can't bathe for 1+ weeks) - Incomplete work - EXTENSIVE water damage to unit below and common property - Body corporate holding me liable for thousands in damages He was EXTREMELY eager before payment, then went silent immediately after receiving the money. PATTERN OF SERIAL *****: When I started researching this guy, I discovered he's done this to multiple victims using different company names: 1. Shaun G (Jul 2023) - Lost R1,800 Company: CPMS (PTY) LTD TA Ms Building & Electrical Pattern: Took upfront payment, disappeared, blocked number 2. Chantelle B (Jun 2024) - Lost R3,000 Company: MS Electrical and Solar (found through Bark) Pattern: Completed first job to gain trust, took deposit for second job, disappeared and blocked number His ID: *********083 3.

Hanrilouise S (Sep 2025) - Lost 60% deposit Company: 786 Energy & Projects Pty Ltd Pattern: 2 weeks of empty promises and lies, no work done, pursuing legal action for ***** and theft 5. Bernard F (Oct 2025) - Amount unknown Company: Pattern: Uses RELIGION (Deen & Allah) to gain trust, disappears with funds Warning: "Not to be trusted. Stay far away from the ****mer" 6.

Gains trust through religious appeals or completing small first jobs 2. Requests 50-60% deposit or upfront payment "for materials" 3. May start minimal work to appear legitimate 4. Makes endless excuses and becomes difficult to reach 5. Disappears completely once payment secured 6. Blocks victim's phone number 7.

786 Energy & Renovations
Under now named Company 786 Energy & Renovations CK or Pty Ltd not sure...Paid 60% deposit, 2 weeks of empty promises and lies to show up and do work, to date no show and no work done. Further legal steps will be taken. Do not Trust, very convincing to do fast and prompt work, well not with our experience.

I used Mohammed through Bark the 1st time. Once the job was complete i requested some more work to be done. The 2nd job was small but completed. He always wants a deposit first to go buy the materials, as soon a Mohammed gained my trust and R3000 of my money he disappeared. His full name is MJ Arendse Cell: 0602423115 ID: 8010235176083

**** avoid!
****. Mogamat Arendse, snake oil salesman, took a deposit for electrical work and never pitched to do the work. Not answering calls at all. I dont think the positive review online are true, likely **** reviewers. Please stay away from this person or business.

General electrical and home maintenance - ****
This small Cape Town business run by Mogamat (Mo) should be avoided at all costs. The operator ****s and de*****s customers by initially pitching to provide a quote, whereafter he requires a deposit for materials etc, only to abscond afterwards. All information on his letterhead and all accreditations are false. Avoid this company
