Opal the orangutang
I have not visited Natal Zoological Gardens nor would I ever support a zoo, but the images of their female orangutan Opal circulating online are disturbing. Orangutans are among the most intelligent and emotionally complex animals on the planet. Seeing one kept alone in a small enclosure is heartbreaking. These animals are meant to live in vast forest environments with stimulation, space, and the ability to express natural behaviours. Isolation and confinement are the opposite of that. Zoos justify themselves using the language of “conservation,” but keeping a solitary orangutan on display is by no means that. It is a business built around exhibiting animals and using them as commodities for paying customers. By going to a zoo you are perpetuating animal cruelty. Animals like Opal and all the animals in captivity here, deserve environments that prioritise their welfare and dignity. If an orangutan cannot live in the wild, the ethical alternative is a large accredited sanctuary designed specifically for their behavioural and social needs. Situations like this raise serious questions about why someone like Gerorgina Boswell (the owner) still keeps highly intelligent species in captivity for public display. Clearly she continues her father Brian Boswell’s deplorable legacy of cruelty with his animal circus where he apparently killed 6 tigers. She and the people involved in her business should be ashamed for the reprehensible excuse for humans that they are.

Failed blinds Installation and Zero Follow-Up
I used Go Green Installation for blind cleaning and installation. While the blind cleaning itself was done well, and the owner, Richard Aphane, came across as pleasant and affable, the experience deteriorated once the installation issues became apparent. One blind was buckled, and another was made from very low-quality material. That second blind eventually fell off the wall and broke into pieces, raising serious concerns about both the quality of the materials and the standard of workmanship. What makes this especially disappointing is that Richard Aphane’s WhatsApp motto is “Do it right the first time.” Unfortunately, it was not done right the first time, and not even the second time. When I contacted him to have the issues resolved, he repeatedly postponed appointments, failed to follow up, and eventually stopped responding to my messages altogether. There was no accountability, no consistency, and no effort to fix the problems. If you want to grow a business, taking responsibility and correcting mistakes is essential. Due to the poor-quality materials, failed installation, and complete lack of follow-up, I would not recommend Go Green Installation to anyone.

Constantly glitching app
The courier guy app despite appearances to offer this function, does not autofill and populate the names and phone numbers nor addresses for receivers. It does not pick up previously-used receivers names nor their names and details from my phone’s address book. In fact once I try to use their in-app address book function, not only does it not find any information from my phone but there is no BACK button so once the app fails I have to close the app completely and restart the entire process. This wastes my time. I send hundreds of parcels and The Courier Giy app is a constant frustration as this is just one of its quirks and glitches. I’m afraid their support staff is clueless in understanding my issues when I report it, their general attitude and extent of response is “well it works as our far as we’re concerned so that’s that” as opposed to solving my issue and their app developers fail the company and the users.

Cash grab
During my appointment with Dr Langridge on 11 November scheduled for 10:30 but which took place half an hour later, I experienced poor time management, and after leaving the consultation, I discovered that my cellphone cable had gone missing while I was in the rooms. As I understood it Dr Langridge indicated to her receptionist Linda that no invoice would be necessary as no cryotherapy was performed, no prescription was issued, and no conclusive diagnosis was provided. Despite this, I was later invoiced and had repeated insistence on payment from Linda — including a charge for cryotherapy that never took place. This experience has left me feeling deeply disappointed and financially taken advantage of. A total cash grab and will not be returning to this practice, and I hope this review encourages more transparent and ethical treatment of their patients going forward. If you want to go to a practice chatting to their team about the weather and their children’s wedding instead of your medical concerns, this is the practice for you. If you want professional medical service turn elsewhere.

Not user friendly
I cant even login. There are 2 logins, multifactor authentication when I would want their system to recognize my IP addresses to have a fast and frictionless experience. I want to speak to a human not to their useless AI chatbots. I havent dealt with this company for long and it is already unpleasant and frustrating. Looking at their verwhelmingly bad reviews I wish I checked their reviews first and very annoyed at my web designer for suggesting them

******* in Broad Daylight with Zero Accountability
I am appalled by the level of service I’ve received from Metrofibre — or rather, the complete lack thereof. I have been trying to get in touch with the company since last week to resolve an issue with my account, but there has been no response. Without any prior communication or consultation, Metrofibre has increased its monthly instalments for what is already a mediocre service. Meanwhile, the quality continues to decline, with frequent service interruptions becoming the norm. When I finally managed to reach a customer service agent, the experience was equally frustrating. The consultant struggled to communicate in clear English, had no answers to my questions, and placed me on hold indefinitely. It seems this is the standard procedure — putting customers on hold until they eventually give up. To add insult to injury, the line quality was so poor I couldn’t understand a single word. I am demanding a proper explanation for the growing arrears on my account so that I can settle the amount and terminate my contract with this unacceptable service provider. This has been one of the worst customer experiences I’ve ever had

Sold a Faulty Car – Safety Risk and Poor After-Sales Experience
I purchased a Nissan Magnite CVT from Mark White Nissan in September 2023, with one very specific and clearly stated requirement: I needed seamless, wireless integration between my phone and the car’s entertainment system to ensure safe, hands-free driving. This was non-negotiable for me, and it was made clear during the sales process. From the moment I drove the car off the floor, however, the entertainment system has been a persistent problem. Connection between my phone and the car is unreliable, inconsistent, and at times non-existent. GPS will cut out mid-trip, the screen freezes, and the system randomly won’t power on or off. Audio levels jump between extremes, and I’ve had to constantly troubleshoot on the go — exactly the kind of distraction I was trying to avoid by buying a new car. These issues are not minor inconveniences — they are genuine safety concerns. To make matters worse, the moment I signed the paperwork, the attitude of some staff members changed dramatically. Diantha, the finance representative, and Vanessa Tattersall, the first person I engaged with at the dealership, became extremely unhelpful — with Vanessa blatantly ignoring me when I walk into the dealership. That kind of treatment is unacceptable after any sale, let alone for a vehicle that clearly isn’t functioning as promised. Gavin, the workshop manager, has been courteous and I do believe he has tried his best, but the ultimate “solution” has been to suggest that I purchase different cables to help make the system work — despite the fact that the car was advertised and sold as supporting wireless connectivity. This is 2025. A new vehicle shouldn’t require third-party hacks to perform a basic, advertised function. Wayne Maree, the salesperson, has been polite and patient throughout, but has largely deflected responsibility to the workshop. I appreciate his tone, but the fact remains: Wayne sold me this car, and it completely failed to meet the core requirement I outlined from day one. I fully acknowledge my frustration with the situation and the staff involved — and while they did not build the car, they represent both the Nissan brand and this dealership, and they chose to sell me a vehicle with a known flaw. I should have returned it immediately, but I did not anticipate that the issue would turn out to be this disruptive, never ending, or frankly, this dangerous. I will never support Mark White Nissan again, and I will never recommend the Nissan brand to anyone. This has been the most expensive, frustrating mistake ever, exhausting, and an unacceptable experience.

2-year + failure to solve simplest of hazardous issues
I’ve been a resident at The Boundary in Lonehill for 4 years, and I feel compelled to warn potential buyers or tenants about the ongoing issues I’ve experienced under Renprop’s management. For over a year, I’ve repeatedly raised a serious health and safety hazard in my block - the constant accumulation of bird droppings on the communal staircase. I formally logged this complaint in writing on no fewer than ten separate occasions since February 2023 to data. Despite these efforts, the issue remains unresolved. Renprop’s only response has been to send cleaners (at best twice a week) sometimes days after the complaint — an ineffective and superficial attempt that does nothing to address the root cause. The problem is persistent, and the solution (installing bird-proofing at a small and specific perch point) is simple and long overdue. According to the Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999, managing agents are legally obligated to maintain a safe and habitable environment. This ongoing situation is unsightly and not only creates a daily slip hazard but also poses hygiene and health risks. Yet Renprop has shown a disturbing lack of urgency, accountability, and concern for resident safety. After numerous ignored emails by Lamlela Ncube and failed follow-ups with Claudio Fernandes, and Johan Scheepers all at Renprop, I was forced to escalate the matter — only to be met with silence once again. I strongly advise against purchasing property in any complex managed by Renprop. They will happily collect your levies but completely fail to uphold their side of the cintract in ensuring a safe, hazard-free, and well-maintained living environment.

No order and no refund
I placed a Black Friday order with Bash in 2023 and had no issues. However, my experience for Black Friday 2024 has been a complete disaster. Here's the timeline: 7 Dec: Received an email about a delivery delay. 9 Dec: Got an email asking me to rate my order—an order that hadn’t even arrived. 10 Dec: Another delivery delay notification. 11 Dec: Email saying my order was canceled, a refund would be processed, and a 10% discount voucher offered for a future purchase. It was presumptuous to assume I’d want to shop with them again after this mess. 13 Dec: Another delivery delay email. 14 Dec: Email saying my order is on its way. 18 Dec: Notification at 9:34 AM that the parcel was out for delivery. Later, at 5:20 PM, RAM Couriers (another inefficient company) claimed they couldn’t deliver due to an incomplete address—one I have no idea how they generated. This chaotic experience has been infuriating. TFG Group has failed miserably at online retail, causing unnecessary bank fees, wasting my time, and leaving me with neither the product nor the refund they promised. I demand my money back immediately.

Not what it used to be
Initially the service was fast and fantastic. Greg has been great and goes above and beyond. Unfortunately the turnaround time has slowed since the pandemic. However lockdown is over and service turnaround has never recovered. Parcels take at least 10 days to make their way to you if not longer. The cost have increased and there is no transparency as far as the import duties go as the invoice is generated by PBC, they don’t forward the original documentation from customs. After supporting them for years and running into issues countless times with their being unable to import anything considered “hazardous” (basically any cosmetics that contain alcohol) they have not partnered with a courier service that ship these resulting in unreturnable wasted purchases. A progressive business hears its customer needs and adapts, for PBC it has regressed.
