On 13 December 2024 I left my vehicle in the care KCK Auto Electrical & Services at the recommendation of Just Brakes & Clutch, Vanderbijlpark. I explained to KCK that my vehicle needed a clutch replaced, and why I thought it did. I bought the clutch kit. They recommended to have the clutch cable replaced. This turned out to be problematic and they finally modified a clutch cable to fit. I was only able to collect my vehicle on the 18th of December 2024. I drove the vehicle home to discover that the left front fender was dented inward. KCK denied any knowledge. Later, upon removing the left front wheel I discovered deep grooves in the mag rim, and its residue on the brake caliper. The spacer behind the mag rim also sustained severe damage. Logic suggests that the vehicle was in motion when the unsecured wheel came off. On the eve of 19 December 2024 I prepared to leave for a holiday destination. Halfway to Kroonvaal Toll Plaza the gearbox started whining. I limped back home in forth gear. On the 20th of December 2024 I investigated. The gearbox was almost completely dry and fifth gear sustained damage. After consulting a third party I filled the gearbox with specific oil and was able to depart on holiday on the 21st of December 2024. Three days into my holiday I discovered a knocking noise when turning. After returning home from a shortened vacation, a reputable service provider informed me that the left CV was done for. The SP explained that the shock of said wheel coming off while in motion, and poor removal and replacement techniques (during clutch replacement) would have contributed to an otherwise previously perfect CV to sustain said damage. I therefore also had to have the CV replaced. The modified clutch cable lasted seven months before the cable was frayed by the sleeve and had to be replaced again. The R1000.00 discount given by KCK Auto Electrical & Services (for the damage to the fender) upon making payment did not come close to the total damage suffered, and an otherwise previously perfect vehicle was now ruined. I will most certainly not recommend KCK Auto Electrical & Services to any person/s. Also, my enquiries after discovering said discrepancies were met by much hostility, denial and inaccurate statements. I affirm that the contents of this review are true and that I’m willing to depose the prescribed oath, including photo evidence.
Our young teacher students travel all the way to Centurion to enhance the status of the teaching profession through appropriate registration, to facilitate management of professional development and the inculcation of a code of ethics for all educators. But when they arrive at the SACE offices, they are met by bullies that, instead of guiding patiently shout and scream at teacher students. Teacher students are belittled and humiliated by oafs that could not muster between them an IQ high enough to spell KFC and that is supposed to instill in a teacher student what exactly? These buffoons lack all that SACE supposedly stand for but apparently, this is the norm. The standard. Well, it is a very low standard, built upon a lack of good manners and no decorum. It reeks of ****** and ill-mannered incompetence. How and why is this acceptable? Because these useless bullies get away with their antics on a daily basis. They couldn’t spare a thought for the weary traveler that has to shuffle an entire professional life at his/her own expense to get there and walk into a wall that is that hoard of unfriendly faces and not an iota of empathy. Just indifference. If they were civilized, those oafs should be ashamed. Clearly shame is not a factor that fits within their framework. Just a reminder, SACE: it is my child you belittle when she requests your guidance. Not an animal.
On the 16th of May 2025 I’m invited to a business lunch. The venue is the bar with no name in Vaalpark. For the second time I drive to this hovel in the middle of nowhere. I’ve been invited to this place before, also on a Friday. Because I’m responsible for the transportation of a third party, I again let the waiter in on my predicament and request that my food be prepared first so that I may be in time for my commitment. But again- and without exception- every single member of our party receives their food, leaving me only three minutes before I again have to leave on an empty stomach, solely disappointed for a second time. It’s like they plan it when a customer requests what I did. Apparently, my invite to this place affords me to see and smell food. Never to taste it or eat it. I chose fish this time and the cook could not finish a simple cut of hake and calamari in more than an hour and a half. So, either this is the most ridiculously inept cook in the country or the staff there decides when you eat. Or whether you sit down for a meal at all. On my way out the waiter shoves my meal in my hands: a shameful and tactless parcel the size of my wallet. I give the parcel to the appreciative car guard. I’m not a cat to eat the hovel’s s****s when it’s tasteless and cold once I have reached my destination. For something as intimate as a celebration with a meal, this is the last place you go. I’ll not humiliate myself with this place a third time. I informed my company of this. And if I’m worth their invite again we’ll not return to the hovel with no name. We’ll visit somewhere we can pay for food and for a change eat it at my leisure. Somewhere courteous client requests are accommodated; not ignored to the tee.
I have recently had to rush two of my daughters to Cormed in Vanderbijlpark on different occasions. The service at Cormed Clinic is worlds removed from e.g. Medi-Clinic in that it's accurate, thorough, fast and friendly. Here you actually forget that you're not just a number. Patients are treated with respect and dignity. The Clinic is clean and quiet, staff is helpful and the doctors absolutely professional. And this is why we return to Cormed for our medical needs. Cormed delivers old school quality service. It's unbeatable.
After a doctor's visit, I was informed that my medical aid, Bonitas' savings were depleted (as usual). Ampath sent me a bill and I arranged for payment of debt in installments of R300.00 per month. So, in the beginning of June 2023 I paid said amount, and again by the end of same month, June 2023. Therefore, my next installment was due by end of July 2023. Right? Wrong. Ampath complained that I ignore them, and they get no response from me regarding settling of this debt. I'm being handed over for R813.42, which I was in the process of paying off still. I sent them a very stern letter explaining how I came to an agreement with their Vanderbijlpark branch, and today I receive an SMS from them stating that I'm still being handed over. Arrangements to settle debt with Ampath ultimately smears your honesty and your dignity. They threaten with handing you over even while you diligently settle debt with them. It is lousy, in poor taste (again) and very unprofessional. Even asking them to get their facts straight does not help. ASK YOUR GP TO NOT MAKE USE OF Ampath. Their word means nothing, and they'll slander yours.
Bonitas rewards their members with making available an affordable alternative in a pharmacy of THEIR choice to save on co-payments on meds either way. However, they also severely punish members like me by forcing me to rely upon such pharmacies, this one being Pharmacy Direct. These guys claim that they are reliable, but from the onset we're informed that they do not stock Estradot and that they cannot get hold of our GP. Now the Diamicron is also an issue. This is two out of the three meds my wife needs. RELIABLE? How? Whether they're just completely inept or whether they profit less off patients like my wife, both Bonitas and Pharmacy Direct in their diabolical union causes high stress levels in patients, and endless headaches in sourcing prescribed meds. Bonitas would simply not have us remain at Dischem, where the meds are always available. They would not carry the cost, see. Now Pharmacy Direct is shunting us back and forth while Bonitas sits arms folded, laughing. Because I don't see anyone trying to help us. The lady calling from Pharmacy Direct asks my wife: must I suck medication we don't have out of the air? That just says it all. Cash ***s and numbers we are. Not patients.

...en ons is terug by twee snytjies! Kry toe nou sowaar op 28 April 2023 'n jaarlikse hersiening van my polis kant en klaar met die nuwe bedrae ingesluit et al nadat ek gekanselleer- en Virseker uiteindelik na 'n helse gesukkel van drie-en-dertig dae my kansellasie van die polis op 19 April 2023 bevestig het. Wat moet ek hierdie verwag? En hul maak seker hul epos jou vanaf 'n bus waarop jy NIE kan antwoord nie. Wens ek het nooit van hul gehoor nie. Sal moet dophou wat hulle aanvang en hierdie ongemak van voor af begin. My dae van sukkel met Virseker staan dus nou op 46 dae...
I emailed Virseker to cancel my insurance policy with them on 17 March 2023. By 5 April 2023 I had to email them again to request confirmation of cancellation. By then another payment was deducted from my bank account. On 19 April I wanted to cancel the debit order, but upon advice I 'clocked in' on their website and discovered my policy was never cancelled, and another deduction would have taken place. This was after I received read receipts for every email; meaning someone there saw what I tried to do. But nobody calls me back, or correct me or guide me in the right direction via email or SMS. On 19 April 2023 I tried their call-back function during my 'clock-in'. When nobody calls me back, I phone them. The sales agent tries to prevent me cancelling four times before, after 33 days I'm finally rid of the policy. And I was promised that no further deductions will be made after the one I had already lost. But this is yet to be seen, because I was already taken by someone there, just watching...
