SPAR GLENWOOD IS GOING DOWN WITH NO STOCK
SPAR GLENWOOD, Goodwood adds no more value to the surrounding community. since December 2025 there's so little stock, shelves empty. no more Spar Viennas or Polonies/Hams. No shampoo, bread shelves were empty for two days within the past 2 months. They are losing business. I am sure there must be new management because SPAR use to be the go-to place for all, but no more. Clearly there must be new owners because NEVER before in my 10 years living here have i experienced such empty shelves, etc. SO BADD AND SADD!!!

Northlink College Goodwood Campus provides insufficient info for registration process.
My daughter registered for an ECD course on 8 Jan 2026 at the Goodwood Campus. Registration was between 8-12 Jan. 2026. No emailed or sms notification was sent to ANY of the students to ensure they bring Police Clearances. Everyone was only informed upon arrival, which caused so much chaos, panic and uncer*****y. Students having to travel as far as Bellville and Paarl for clearances as Goodwood only does that Mondays and Tuesdays. Students were told they were advised via sms but this was untrue. Only on 13 Jan. 2026 students received sms's informing them to bring Police clearances - note AFTER CLOSING OF REGISTRATION for ECD Course, they were informed to bring the clearances. On day of registration they were also only told they have to submit their CV's which was not told to them prior to arrival. Fortunately, I had all the info on email with me and could email same to the assistant. Northlink should really up their game. When sending the email with the Registration Process info - PLEASE add that students are to have Police Clearance AND their CV's with them!!!! there were students crying - going into panic as they came from the Eastern Cape, unknown to the area for police clearances, etc. TOTALLY UNORGANIZED AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I must say Ms Sinethemba Thole was excellent with her assisting and guiding skills on 08/01/2026! She was so patient and friendly under the chaos arising, explaining down to a T and her calming & knowledgeable demeanor was so refreshing. Atleast she was a positive for the day. I made above suggestions to staff as it was total chaos with the lack of required information.

CAPITEC DO NOT PAY OUT LOTTO WINNINGS.
I use the Capitec App to play lotto. Twice during 2025 i won with 3 numbers, which is not much but it is MY winning! Capitec never paid me my winning. Even if it is a mere R25 - it is MY WINNING. They should remove lotto from the app. My friend used the Nedbank app and within less than 2 weeks she got her R27 deposited into her account - which is awesome! Hats off to NEDBANK for not *****ing their client's winnings.

Change debit dates without accountholder consent
Who gave Nedbank MCF permission to change my debit order payment date from 15th to 12th???. On 12 Sept they will get insufficient funds! Obviously there's a reason why they must debit on 15th! That's my PAYDAY! "....process vehicle finance on 12/09/2025 to match your salary date. To keep your date, please OPTOUT...."This is ridiculous. Obviously you must debit me on my salary date as per my contract. So I called the no.provided and instructed the consultant to OPTOUT on my behalf. Imagine if I missed this SMS!! What a predicament it would have caused for me not having their funds available! YOU CAN NEVER CHANGE DEBIT DATES WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE ACCOUNT HOLDER!

GEPF lets you down during the most difficult time for death benefit
My mother, a GEPF member, passed away on 17 March 2025. On 26 April 2025 I submitted all the paperwork, as per required for her funeral benefit claim. Again on 07/04/2025, 11/04/2024, 15/04/2025 and 16/04/2025 i submitted and requested any acknowledgment of receipt or feedback, but no reply or delivery from GEPF. I have called the call centre number, 0800 117669 more than 20 times but the number is faulty. There are NO ALTERNATIVE number to call. Unfortunately I cannot go into GEPF myself. I am highly disappointed as my mother has passed on today a month exactly and I am cannot finalize her arrangements due to GEPF. I am disgusted by the service or lack thereof I am receiving. I cant even enter a business email below for Hello Peter as they will not reply. I have tried 5 different GEPF emails, as per their website, but to no avail.

Ecomed Medical worst service EVER!
During July 2024 my mother received an account of R3234 for rental of an oxygen tank which Medical aid failed to cover after Ecomed failed to confirm approval of authorization by medical aid.I sent them email in July 2024 explaining her predicament regarding payment and requested it be written of as my mom is 73 years old and only receive Sassa grant. They should have confirmed authorization with GEMS FIRST before renting the oxygen tank to her!! I never received ANY feedback on my email of 07/2024 and assumed it was written off. On 10 January 2025 ONLY my mom received a FINAL DEMAND. No 1st or 2nd demand....a FINAL! Giving her 7 days to pay the account!! She is currently in her final renal stages at Paarl Mediclinic and have been for 2 months. No longer talking, responding and being fed via nose tube! No correspondence between July 2024 and January 2025!!! Now this????? ECOMED Mecical Pry Ltd are inhuman, insensitive and unprofessional!.

We Buy Cars Brackenfell is tops (stay away from Epping branch)
BRACKENFELL BRANCH are TOPS! Within 3 days mr Kayan Levendal finalized my purchase. He was honest, competent, professional and went the extra mile, unlike the Management of the Epping Branch. I am extremely happy with my non-defective purchase on 02 November 2024 thanks to Mr Levendal.

STAY AWAY FROM WE BUY CARS, EPPING!!
on 13 Sept.2024 i purchased a vehicle from the EPPING branch. The following day we noticed that the fuel injectors were defective. returned the vehicle the following week and never saw it again. We Buy Cars refused to replace the injectors although it was pre-existing and a month later they decided to cancel the deal. I paid my 1st installment for a car i only had 1 week, no reimbur*****t from them. After cancellation was finalized, today, 30/10/2024 I received no apology, no nothing from the Branch Manager Mr Prosper nor the Sales Manager. They seriously lack COMMUNICATION Skills, they reply whenever they see fit, they ignore you, they dont keep you updated on anything. I had to contact MFC to establish how far the settlement is and request a paid up letter. They have no idea how inconvenienced I was for 5 weeks and now I have to look for another vehicle, doing everything from scratch again. I will never purchase anything from the EPPING branch again, they caused me frustration, stress and tears. Again - no apology or anything.

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM WE BUY CARS, EPPING!!!!
On Friday, 13 Sept. 2024 I collected my Ford Ecosport Titanium from We Buy Cars (WBC), Epping, after purchase. The following morning after starting up the engine, my husband and I noticed dark smoke coming from the exhaust pipe, which lasted for about 5 minutes. After that cleared up, we used the vehicle. The following morning, Sunday 15/09/24, the same happened and we made a video recording. My husband suspected that this could be a diesel injector leak. The Monday morning, 16/09/2024 we took the vehicle back to the branch to report the defect as I was still within my 7-day period where I could report defects to the newly purchased vehicle. Keep in mind this was a “Gold” Dekra - approved vehicle. We informed the agent who attended to the sale, Erin Joshua, that its most probably the fuel injector that’s defective. He told my husband “Don’t stress about it”. We advised that we will only be able to return the vehicle the following week 24 /09/24. We booked the vehicle in at the Epping branch on 24/09/2024 and received feedback from the Sales Manager, Mr De Beer on Monday, 30/09/2024 that one injector is indeed defective but its best if all injectors are replaced. There was no way I could have detected the defect as the vehicle was already “warm” when I collected it on 13/09/24 so only afterwards we noticed it. This was a defect which was clearly visible when starting up the engine so it’s quite concerning how nobody noticed the excessive smoke fuming from the exhaust pipe and not declare it. On 03/10/24 I was told by the sales manager that the fuel injector probably broke overnight so as soon as the vehicle came into my possession– what an insult to my intelligence. I decided to directly communicate via WhatsApp (to ensure a paper-trail of conversations) with the Sales Manager, Mr De Beer. On 30/09/2024, the Mr De Beer advised that the quote received to replace the injectors, varied between R28 – 32 000.00 which they, WBC, cannot cover as, and I quote “its above their level to approve for repairs”. Instead, the regional manager advised him to put a claim through Innovation which is MY motor warranty plan that I took out when I purchased the vehicle. I had no choice but to agree, failing which the purchase would be cancelled. This resulted in MY motor warranty now being used to replace defective items which should have been replaced by WBC before selling the vehicle to myself or anyone. On 03/10/2024 WBC agreed to arrange for a rental vehicle which I collected - it’s probably the lowest cost, most outdated vehicle with a non-working petrol gage and no kilometre indicator. – did not use the vehicle at all, parked it in my garage until my vehicle is repaired. On 03/10/2024 I was told still nothing was done on my vehicle as they were still waiting on the fuel injectors tests? And yet we know that at least one injector is defective, so without any tests how could the sales manager know this – at some stage tests must have been done already. The sales manager told me he will be going leave from 06/10/2024 but he will have Mr Joshua take over. On Mond.06/10/2024 I called WBC, 0870570000, and spoke to Shanella, explaining my concern and grievance and she advised that she will be sending an email to Mr Joshua, the sales – and branch manager that morning. On 07/10/2024 I was told by Mr Joshua that they can provide me with a curtesy vehicle – which proves there was no communication between the Sales Manager to him as I already have a curtesy vehicle. According to Mr Joshua the repairs might not be approved?? The Sales manager already confirmed with me on 30/09/2024 that approval will be granted given I use my warranty which I agreed to, then it was supposed to be all systems go. It has been 22 days to date (24/09 – 15/10) and my car is still at Autospec. Autospec confirmed that the defective fuel injectors were indeed a pre-existing defect, it was not caused overnight, as suggested by Mr De Beer. Don’t do business with Erin Joshua – no communication skills, the Sales Manager, Mr De Beer hands over to an *********** agent. Mr Prosper, though finally took over on 08/10/24, provided timeous feedback on a daily basis and rep**** to my enquiries when needed. I sent Mr De Beer a message on 04/10/2024 to follow up on my vehicle’s progress, today, 11 days later, he still did not even bother to open my message, after promising me that he will keep an eye on the progress. I already paid my 1st instalment for a car I only used 1 week!!! STAY AWAY FROM WE BUY CARS, EPPING.
