Campus Key sucks
They pay lip service to noise control in the student block near our house in Observatory. Drunken student parties go on deep into the might on an open deck, and you can't get in to complain because the place is like Fort Knox. After yet another noisy event last night, I emailed a complaint that contained very forceful language (it was midnight, FFS), and in response received a reprimand for my "profanity and disrespectful" tone plus an invitation to discuss the complaint over a coffee. I told them to stuff the coffee and instead rein in try he students. If you hear of a new Campus Key block planned for your neighbourhood, fight it or sell up quickly. Today's students are out of control.

Electricians - do your homework!
As far as I can make out, the person behind this secures the services of "bakkie electricians" who thumb-suck quotes that have no bearing on the actual work involved. In my case, I paid R4000 to an electrician (who seemed a nice guy) on the understanding that I would be getting a certificate of compliance - and that's where it broke down. Over the course of a week, and after exchanging many (increasingly aggressive) phone calls, emails, text and WhatsApp messages, it became clear that I wasn't going to get that certificate. I now have to start all over again, and spend more money. Although I did my usual check on Hellopeter beforehand, his website didn't ring any alarm bells, but when I tried similar-looking websites, all manner of complaints popped up. Useful tip: look out for Google reviews - and if there is no street/office address, be afraid! I found an address, which is useful for serving a summons. I also checked out the domain information, and although the address and owner names are redacted (why hide this?), it shows that the websites electrician.co.za and electricians-online247.co.za are owned by the same person.
