Unhappy Empangeni
Good day I hope this complaint will get some action I went in to your Empangeni butchery today to see if it will be a shop that I can buy all my meat from at first I was a very happy customer and had almost R600 of meat in my trolley. When we got to the teller they said there is something wrong with the price per KG because they had specials the day before but all the meat was still on shelves. So then they went to change the pricing that I was not happy about because the price you see is the price you pay. So I want to know is it normal bussiness practice for your company to adjust pricing at the till? I called the manager and his response was I must just bear with him and he refused to change the price to the price the items were marked at. Just to inform you I will never shop at one of your shops if that is the way you treat customers and I will make sure not to recomend your bussines to anyone. I will rather drive 200Km from Empangeni to buy my meat than to support your company. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards MR Jooste Ps I left all the items in your store and walked 50m to Food *****s Market and spend almost a R1000 on meat by them you are not the only butchery in town

Customer Appreciation: Exceptional Service at OBC Cosmo Mall-Thola Zonke
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the consultant at OBC Cosmo City who assisted me in opening my new Royalty Stokvel Rewards Card. Her professionalism, dedication, and commitment to excellence truly stood out and made the entire experience seamless. Godfrey From the moment I approached her desk, she displayed a polite and humble demeanor, welcoming me with genuine warmth and respect. She explained the benefits of the Royalty Stokvel Rewards Card in detail, ensuring that I understood how it empowers customers to save collectively, earn rewards, and enjoy exclusive benefits tailored to the OBC community. Her ability to simplify complex information while maintaining professionalism reflects her deep knowledge and passion for her work. The consultant’s patience and attentiveness made me feel valued as a customer. She took the time to answer my questions thoroughly, highlighting how the card supports stokvel savings culture, offers reward points for purchases, and strengthens loyalty to the OBC brand. Her guidance reassured me that I was making the right choice, and her commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in every step of the process. She is truly a shining diamond of the OBC brand in Cosmo Mall—a living example of how frontline staff can elevate the reputation of a company through service excellence. Her professionalism not only reflects positively on OBC but also inspires confidence in customers who engage with the brand. In a world where customer service often feels rushed or transactional, her humility and dedication remind us that excellence is built on respect, patience, and genuine care. I commend her for being an ambassador of OBC’s values and for making my experience both memorable and rewarding.

I sent my son to the store
I sent my son to the store. He then decided to ***** using and unsigned till slip he got previously from buying similar item. He was then brutality beaten and poured with water of which I don't mind.

OBC MEAT & CHICKEN MUSINA: THE R4 PLASTIC BAG ******* – A DISGRACE TO SOUTH AFRICAN CONSUMERS!
Let me state this clearly and without compromise: your R4 plastic bag charge is not just *********—it is a blatant violation of fair business practices that demands immediate rectification. The numbers speak for themselves, and they expose your operation as nothing short of consumer exploitation. According to verified industry data from the SA Plastics Federation (2023), the actual cost of a standard plastic carry bag ranges between 15-20 cents per unit. Yet, OBC Meat & Chicken Musina charges customers R4.00—a markup of 2,000% to 2,500%. This is not a reasonable fee; it is price gouging, plain and simple. If this were truly about environmental responsibility, you would offer paper alternatives, incentivize reusable bags, or at the very least, charge only what is necessary to recover costs. Instead, you disguise 'corporate greed' as policy, forcing customers to pay eight to twenty-six times more than what major retailers like Checkers, Pick n Pay, and Spar charge for the same—or better—bags. What makes this even more egregious is that your pricing structure likely violates Section 48 of the Consumer Protection Act, which explicitly prohibits unfair and unreasonable pricing. By inflating the cost of a basic necessity at checkout, you are engaging in the same exploitative tactics that regulators have cracked down on in other industries. And let’s not pretend this is anything but profit-driven: at an estimated 500 bags sold per day, your daily revenue from this **** alone is R2,000, while your actual expense is a mere R100. That’s R1,900 in pure, unjustified profit every single day ,adding up to nearly R700,000 a year ****** from your customers’ pockets. This is not a debate. These are cold, hard facts. You are running a predatory pricing scheme, and it ends now. We demand an immediate reduction of bag fees to no more than R1 at least, a full public accounting of where these profits have gone, and a formal apology for this deliberate consumer abuse. Fail to act, and the consequences will be severe: a National Consumer Commission complaint, a SARS investigation into potential price-fixing violations, and a class-action lawsuit for unjust enrichment. The evidence is irrefutable. The choice is yours. Correct this theft, or face the legal and financial repercussions.

Rotten Meat Purchased from OBC Butchery Chris Hani Crossing
On the 19/12/2024 I purchased a pack of chicken feet for my mother-in-law in preparation for the festive season. Upon reaching the payment counter, I noticed black spots on the chicken mala and brought this to the cashier's attention. I inquired if the meat was still fresh, and she assured me that it was not rotten, stating that spoiled meat would have a noticeable odor. Trusting her judgment, I proceeded with the purchase. When I got home, I decided to clean the meat thoroughly, as I still had concerns about its quality. To my dismay, I discovered that the meat was indeed rotten, with the blackened parts concealed by double-wrapping to mask any odor. Despite my efforts to clean it with vinegar, it became clear that the meat was unfit for consumption. I had no choice but to discard it immediately. This incident has left me deeply disappointed, particularly because of the potential health risks associated with consuming spoiled meat. Cases of food poisoning, especially involving children, are a serious concern, and I shudder to think of the consequences had I served this to my family. I kindly request that you address this matter urgently and take the necessary steps to ensure that all products sold meet acceptable health and safety standards. Additionally, I would appreciate a refund for this purchase and a response detailing how you intend to prevent such incidents in the future.
