Bye, bye Vodacom.
I want to check if it is possible to do an upgrade on a mobile number om my account. The person on the other side of the line then reads me a whole story which I must confirm before we go to stage two, the security questions to confirm that it is not a ***** calling. Then the questions start how do you receive your invoices, when do you receive your invoices, when is the payments going off your account. Now as a person managing three companies, I certainly do not keep tabs of these operational matters. To me it looks like a serious lack of intelligence, submitting your customers to such nonsense. I tried to check it on-line, then if I type in my number, a message comes up telling me there is a problem, so we cannot chat. Quite frankly Vodacom shove your contract and your customer support where the sun does not shine!!!!!!

Heavily disappointed with Hikvision in Johannesburg.
What a disappointment. I tried calling Hikvision in Bramley, Johannesburg. All the attempts were not successful, I simply got "the subscriber you are calling is not available " So I sent someone to the office of Hikvision to have a DVR tested. the receptionist basically told us to go away and start by calling the helpdesk to check the serial number for warranty. She also insisted that the unit should go to the dealer where the unit was bought. The challenge here is that I have no idea where the unit was bought as it is a new customer for me and he obviously does not know where the unit was bought.

No benefit from Business Wise (SA) after signing up.
I have signed up with Business Wise SA recently to take care of marketing on two of my companies. I was promised that by the next week I will start to receive between 4 and 8 leads per week. It is now roughly a month later and nothing happened. Not a single lead came out of this. Before signing up, I was hesitant as I have had bad experiences with other companies before. Understanding the importance of marketing however I decided to sign up. I have sent emails, I have tried to call Michelle, but to no avail:-(

Discovery moving the goalposts in abdicating their responsibility,
I went for some medical tests a while back, performed by a physician. Based on the results of the extensive tests performed, Ozempic was prescribed as a chronic medication amongst other meds. Discovery did not approve the Ozempic, stating that they will only approve the medication as chronic once my fasting glucose count is above 7, i.e. when I am officially a diabetic. I am sure that we could have prevented getting to an officially diagnosed diabetic, had the Ozempic been approved. So now in January 2025, I went for my six-monthly checkup, and it turned out that my fasting glucose count is now above 7 (It is my opinion that this may have been avoided, had Discovery allowed the Ozempic at the time). So, my GP lodged a new application to put Ozempic on chronic. Discovery acknowledged that I am now diabetic, however the goalpost was moved by Discovery no want me to use alternative meds for three months before they will re-consider Ozempic. I have used alternative meds for the problem before, which obviously did not help. Discovery has access to my profile and should have been able to pick this up. Moreover, I am not comfortable to not take up the treatment, now prescribed by two medical professionals (Physician and General Practitioner) because Discovery is abdicating their responsibility. The problem now is that Discovery will not re-consider the application because I am now using Ozempic at my own cost in the meantime. So, for me, the clear message from discovery is that they are absolutely undermining the professionalism and qualification of the medical practitioners. I am highly irritated and disappointed with Discovery and the service and integrity I am getting from Discovery in exchange for a fortune I am paying on a monthly basis and have been doing for many years:-(

New vehicle bought from Eagle Corner down for weeks!!
I bought a new Mahindra Bolero from Eagle Mahindra at the end of August 2024. On 19 November the wiring harness in the engine compartment burnt. It turns out that there is no spare harness in South Africa, despite many of these vehicles running in South Africa and it would take weeks to bring one from India. Be warned, if you do not want to pay for a vehicle that is not available for your business, stay away from Mahindra. Eagle corner is also not going to do anything to improve your situation.

Pathetic Support from Mahindra SA.
I had bought a new Mahindra Bolero from Eagle Mahindra at the end of August 2024. On 19 November 2024 the wiring harness in the engine compartment burnt. It turned out that there is not a single harness in the country, and it will take weeks to bring one from India. I tried to speak to the CEO of Mahindra SA, however the folk at Mahindra refused bluntly to put me through. I ended up with customer care which made absolutely no difference :-(

What is going on at Standard Bank?
I went onto the "Corporate Investment" website and found a telephone number to get information on my requirement. the number on the site is. 0800 123 000. Once you dial the number, you get through to a different company. It turns out that the Standard Bank number is 0860 123 000. I have tried to report the incorrect detail, I ran into a brick wall. The level of competence of the Standard Bank staff that I spoke to was scary. Very bad experience!!!!
