I am extremely disappointed with Qatar Airways’ handling of my sentimental damaged musical instrument and the total lack of assistance that followed. While boarding our flight in Tbilisi, cabin crew refused to allow us to take our guitar into the cabin, despite this being accepted on multiple previous Qatar Airways flights (including Johannesburg–Bali return and Johannesburg–Yerevan). The air hostess was dismissive, told us to “get out of the way,” and forced us to check in the guitar, assuring us it would be handled safely. Upon arrival at OR Tambo International Airport, the guitar was damaged. A Qatar Airways representative, Zimba, refused to allow us to complete a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and instead took photos and told us to complete a Property Questionnaire. I later sent full images of the damage via WhatsApp as requested. Since then: Auto response case reference: CAS-523242-M9Z9M1 Booking reference: 98RUNT No PIR number No feedback We emailed Qatar Airways on 17 November and have received no response. Attempting to log the damage online results in an error stating the complaint has already been logged (screenshot available). Live chat support has been equally unhelpful: Anas stalled and abruptly ended the chat without assisting. Rajashree (12/10/2025) requested information already provided and then closed the chat. What I want resolved: Confirmation of an official damage claim/PIR Clear steps for repair or compensation An explanation for the inconsistent cabin baggage policy for musical instruments Accountability for the unprofessional treatment during boarding Qatar Airways has been our airline of choice, but this experience — especially the silence since 17 November — is unacceptable. I am posting publicly as all direct channels have failed.
Yesterday I went to Mall of Africa, Midrand. I ordered 2 Spiced Chai Tea Latte’s and 2 butter croissants for my ***friend and I since we were having load shedding and couldn’t make a cup of tea ourselves. You can imagine the repulse I felt when pouring my coffee into my cup to microwave reheat, sit by the couch and proceed to drink my tea only to find, a ball of a blonde hair strand in my tea, I only know what it was because the foreign object landed on my tongue and I pulled it out. The hair is not mine, I have an Afro. I’m actually still irked out, I paid not only for my order but I tipped the waitress as well only to eat HAIR. I’m really annoyed by the experience.
I have been registered on crayon for some time now, well before lockdown began, I was hooked by their interface and how easy to use it seemed but does it matter that it's easy to apply there and has all these fancy analytics used to rate you as an appropriate or inappropriate candidates like grit score and personality profiling when they're gonna use the old and conventional racial discrimination method to decide on whether or not you are to be hired, cover it up however you want however if I have been applying in diverse industries and some I have the relevant qualifications and years experience to be considered and yet all I ever receive are rejections or "job has been suspended" something doesn't seem to make any sense, never a single interview how efficient at discrimination is crayon really?
Pathetic customer service at Renault Centurion, first the advisor was screaming at me over the phone very rudely when enquiring if I had jump started the vehicle, then refused to have the job done in one single day, car had to spend the night there, then the driver of the shuttle service was impatiently threatening to leave me even though the appointment time had not occurred as yet for to pick me up, and then when I went to pick up the vehicle, it has been making screeching sounds ever since every time I attempt to brake, they switched my break pads and tampered with the computer box, as a day after picking the vehicle up it started suggesting 1000k's to service whereas before I took the vehicle in service was 5000 km's away still. To show that it was tampered when I was driving away the shuttle driver ran after my vehicle with his colleague to insist that I give them a lift to where they were going and then said "we'll see you when you bring the car back for service"
