Beware OR TAMBO long vs short term parking fees

Wow! There are no clear big bold Short-term parking and Long-term parking signs. You are funneled on a highway with left and right signs indicating international, national, departures, arrivals, and where the long term parking signs I have no idea. I dont normally use this airport- and I will do my best never to again!

I parked for a week and got a R1650 parking bill for parking on level 3!!!!

What's worse is there was a non-stop queue of Fly Safair passengers - 3 whilst I was there for parking tickets of over R4000, R8000 and R9000 for parking between 3-5 days because they parked on level 2 - which is now apparently an uber dedicated parking at R60 per hour! Yet it doesn't spell out UBER PARKING OR VERY SHORT TERM PARKING ONLY.

It is futile trying to request a manager- the supervisor is instructed to make you pay if you want your car. I felt so sorry for all these people!!!

I have reviewed a constant supply of Hellopeter and Facebook complaint reviews about this issue, yet nothing ever is done to change the signs.

It should be ******* to not clearly in bold state SHORT TERM PARKING AND LONG TERM PARKING OR UBER PARKING. New passengers to OR Tambo never arrive with the luxury of an hour spare to drive in circles, walk for miles, and they expect you to read the fine print of hourly rates.

The millions of rands per month this company must be making is mind staggering. Within about 30 mins of me standing within the parking management office, R25000 was paid, and that's from people who took the trouble to walk all the way to see if they could get help. That on average calculates to R50 000 an hour or R400 000 for 8 hours, thats over 12 million ramd a month!!!!

I really cant wait for someone who is a lawyer, to take this matter further to a constitutional court.

My business is helping people heal from chronic medical conditions. But if I was an expert in helping people legally - I would be all over this. Or Cart Blanche TV should be. It would make one hell of a documentary. Simply sit there for a day, and listen to the non-stop string of poor unsuspecting passengers who have no choice but to borrow money on their credit cards - as who has R9000 sitting one side unbudgeted for??? They catch you with your hands tied behind your back - and yet for years this problem continues.

Please lets do something aboit this to prevent the next unsuspecting victim.
