CLINT FENNEL a disgrace to Willoughby and com
I was subjected to egregious rudeness, verbal abuse, and unwarranted aggression by a waiter of Willoughbys , Klint Fennel. As a loyal patron of The Waterfront and a frequent visitor to that establishment, I am appalled by this breach of basic human decency and professional standards, particularly from an individual in the position of a waiter at one of Cape Town’s most esteemed restaurants. To provide context, I dined with my small dog, Tiger who is ill and requires constant accompaniment. For her comfort and mobility, we transport her in a compact pet buggy, which she rides in discreetly. This arrangement has allowed us to enjoy The Waterfront’s amenities on multiple occasions without incident, as I have witnessed animals in such carriers are routinely accommodated throughout the mall. Indeed, I have personally observed numerous patrons with similar setups —dogs in buggies or even on laps—dining at your restaurant without reproach. Upon entering, one Klint Fennel immediately approached me in a belligerent manner, His tone was not merely discourteous but vicious , delivered in full view of other guests and staff. As a mere waiter , he holds a role that demands courtesy, poise, and hospitality—qualities he abjectly failed to uphold. Instead, he wielded his minor authority with audacious malice, summoning security personnel not once, but twice, to forcibly eject me ,shouting, “Take your dog and get out of The Waterfront!” The first security officer, to his credit, responded with empathy, advising me to relax before I departed to a nearby pet-friendly restaurant. Tragically, Klint Fennel overrode this compassionate intervention with further vicious instructions, compelling a second officer to intervene. Compounding this outrage, as I departed graciously, Mr. Fennel mockingly waved and blew a kiss in my direction before the entire restaurant —a pathetic display of petty triumphalism attempting to further humiliate me and undermined the dignity of the establishment. Some of the other staff confided that they were powerless against his “vicious instructions,” highlighting a toxic dynamic that prioritizes bullying over service. Fennels behavior was not only an affront to me but a profound embarrassment to the restaurant. His actions reveal a bitter, frustrated individual—evident in his affected appearance and demeanor—who abuses his limited remit (directing patrons to tables attempting overseeing staff) to masquerade as an enforcer of mall-wide policy, far beyond his authority. No waiter has the right or remit to expel patrons from The Waterfront; that is the domain of mall security who were kind abd compassionate ,not a restaurant employee. His conduct was mean-spirited, ugly in its cruelty, and wholly unbecoming of South Africa’s dining scene. I am certain the proprietor would be disgusted to learn of such representation. I will pursue resolution through public review platforms, including a detailed account on social media and sites such as TripAdvisor. My commitment to The Waterfront is unwavering, and I will return. He has proven himself to be a bully who uses his minor position to act out his frustrations on patrons on his imaginary stage. The professional theatrical platform was one he has previously perhaps failed on hopelessly It is painfully clear that this public performance of authority , in a restaurant ,masks a profoundly unhappy individual, but his personal failings are no excuse for subjecting customers to such reprehensible behavior.

Evil Con Artist! Stay away!
Lynn Hartslief aka Alaia Angel, is a dangerous con artist and must be avoided at all costs. She advertises to be a medium who can connect you to those who have passed, but in fact she preys on vulnerable people endeavouring to seek answers. She exploits and manipulates the information you present to her, completely warps and distorts it, filling in the gaps to your narrative with the most twisted and perverted falsehoods. She claims to speak to ‘angels’ but it is more likely demons and the occult she is tapping in to, as the messages she sews cause nothing but division and destruction. Thus, leaving the vulnerable client feeling hopeless and distraught and therefore grooming a future dependancy on herself, and thereby growing a loyal customer base. How dark and sadistic to prey on peoples weaknesses for one’s own benefit. ‘Alaia Angel’ uses the marketing technique of pre-framing to sway and govern your thoughts and “understanding" of your circumstances. Pre-framing is an influence tool that allows one to shape someone's thought process about an event or topic before addressing it. Adopting this tactic puts her in control of the conversation which is essential in order for her to sell you her disinformation and for you to swallow her twisted lies. She is manipulative and divisive. Furthermore she repeatedly tells you to not discuss this with the person she is incriminating. This is a common sign of deception. We were referred to Alaia Angel by Jarryd Nurden, who does energy healing. There was communication between the two of them about us. They may be working together as Jarryd might feed her information and get a commission for the referral. He is also a victim of hers and she has “revealed” the most atrocious things about his past, all things that she claims happened while he was apparently unknowingly sedated and therefore cannot remember. She claims that this insight comes from “angels”. Lynn fabricates these stories and manufactures deceptive reasons as to why you cannot remember them, creating a clutch over one, who then feels reliant on her and her communication with the occult for further information and “answers”. The effect these lies have on one is monumentally destructive and has the potential to destroy lives, relationships and families. I know of others also who she has victimised and endeavoured to destroy. This predator is treacherous and must be stopped. Please stay away from her! Please find below the the statement my daughters homeschool teacher wrote for the police after hearing the horrifyingly wicked disinformation that was being fed to her by this despicable woman. Statement on Client Session with Angel Alaia Thursday, 6 May 2021, 15:00. The telephonic appointment was for 15:00. Angel was running late. She phoned [Client] at about 15:10. Angel greeted [Client] and then asked for a moment of silence to consult “the angels”. She then asked [Client] if she had been sick recently as she was being lead to the throat and elbow. [Client] said that she had had tonsillitis about a month prior and that she had fallen/was pushed and hurt her elbow. [Mother] and I, [Teacher] then got asked to leave the room by [Client]. [Client] then also said after the phone call that Angel stated that no one else can be present for the session. I went into [Client’s] bedroom about 10 minutes after leaving to fetch my phone, and was alarmed at what I was hearing, so I motioned to [Client] asking if I could stay. She motioned back that it was fine and for me to have a seat. Angel was speaking to [Client] about the abuse [Client] experienced as a child, and was asking where her mother was during the abuse. [Client] stated that she wasn’t entirely sure where her mother was, but said that she was somewhere in the house, perhaps her own bedroom. Angel then started saying that [Mother] was being neglectful and that she should have known that the abuse was going on. She then went even further as to say that the “angels” were confirming that [Mother] did, in fact, know about the abuse. She then went on to ask why and suggest reasons as to why [Mother] would have ignored the abuse, and offered the following possibilities to [Client]: - [Mother] was having a relationship with [Abuser] too and so didn’t want to confront him. [Mother] was doing some sort of illegal business with [Abuser], or that [Abuser] knew about, and so couldn’t confront him in case he reported her. [Mother] didn’t care enough about [Client] to do anything about it. Or that [Mother] got pleasure from knowing what [Abuser] was doing to [Client]. Angel called [Mother] a sadist. Angel said she would conduct a test for [Client’s] body to “tell” her if [Mother] did in fact know about the abuse. She said she would first practice a few obvious questions so that [Client] could know what a ‘yes’ response and what a ‘no’ response “felt like in her body”. She started with one ‘no’ question. “Your name is Olivia”, to which [Client] obviously responded “no”. Then Angel said ok you now know what “no” feels like. She then asked [Client] a series of ‘yes’ questions. ie her real name, eye colour, age, etc. And she then said, “now that you know the difference between yes and no in your body, what is your body’s response to ‘your mother knew about the abuse’?”. This was clear pre-framing, influencing [Client’s] response by asking a series of ‘yes’ questions before asking a question she wanted a ‘yes’ answer to. Angel was happy to accept [Client’s] “bodily response” to the questions when the answer suited her agenda, but when [Client] then answered ‘no’ to a question, she would then stop and point out how [Client] was wrong and that [Mother] must have known about the abuse and that she also knew before she hired [Abuser] that he was a dangerous man, but hired him anyway and then left her children in his care. When [Client] would dispute this, Angel would reiterate her disinformation and tell [Client] that that was the reality and try and justify her reasoning. [Client] even texted me at one point saying that she was scared. I responded to [Client] saying that Angel was conditioning [Client]. When [Client] said that she would confront her mother about the information Angel was giving her, Angel said that [Client] must not tell [Mother] what they discussed. Angel then repeatedly stated this throughout the remainder of the session. Angel pinned all the blame on [Mother], continued to insinuate that she was neglectful and didn’t care about [Client]. I could see that [Client] was confused, in pain, and frightened. [Client’s] responses became more and more timid and uncertain. Angel’s actions were abusive and manipulative and she was preying on a vulnerable and hurting young person. I was absolutely dumbfounded and shocked at the extremely dubious “information” that she was imparting. Such accusations could have monumentally devastating consequences and repercussions, destroying ones relationships, family and life. This predator must be stopped.
