Today I visited Clicks Berea Centre after my 5‑year‑old was injured while we were on the road. I was assisted by Ms. Shezi, who showed genuine care and sympathy. Her professionalism and kindness made a difficult situation much easier, and she ensured I was helped to my satisfaction. I truly appreciate the excellent service I received.
Title: Ongoing Failure to Resolve Mobile App Access I am deeply disappointed with Capitec’s continued failure to assist my wife in regaining access to her mobile app. After three separate visits to the Chief Albert Luthuli Street branch in Stanger, the issue remains unresolved. Despite staff attempting to reset her facial recognition by removing her picture, the error persists. This means she cannot transact via the app and is forced to rely on ATMs — a major inconvenience in today’s digital banking era. What makes this worse is the lack of proper guidance from employees, who seem unsure of how to resolve such technical issues. Capitec responded to my initial Hellopeter review suggesting I “chat with them,” yet no option was provided to do so. This leaves customers stranded between failed technology and unhelpful support. Capitec markets itself as a leader in accessible banking, but when technology fails and staff cannot assist, the promise of convenience collapses. I urge Capitec to take responsibility, provide competent technical support, and ensure customers are not left without access to essential banking services.
On Thursday, my 4‑year‑old son suddenly fell ill while we were shopping for footwear. It was an unexpected and difficult moment, but the Woolworths staff showed us incredible kindness. Even though the cleaner had already left, the team quickly assisted us, guiding us to a private area where we could clean up and change into fresh clothes. Their compassion, patience, and professionalism turned what could have been a very stressful situation into one of care and dignity. We are truly grateful for the way they treated our family. Thank you, Woolworths KwaDukuza Mall staff, for your loving kindness and outstanding service. You made a big difference for us that day.
I am extremely frustrated with Capitec’s service. My mobile app has not been working, leaving me unable to transact, pay accounts, or take advantage of Black Friday specials. On Thursday afternoon, I visited the Chief Albert Luthuli Street branch in KwaDukuza, but they failed to assist me. Hoping for a resolution, I went again to the KwaDukuza Mall branch on Friday, 27 November 2026. The staff assured me the issue was resolved, but when I tried to transact afterwards, the same problem persisted. This has been a very disappointing experience. In today’s world, where we rely heavily on technology to make life easier, Capitec’s failure to resolve such a basic issue is unacceptable. I expect reliability and proper support, not repeated visits to branches with no solution. Capitec urgently needs to improve both its mobile app stability and customer support systems. Clients should not be left stranded when technology fails.
Complaint: We were contacted by a Telkom consultant who sold us an internet package over the phone. I verified the legitimacy of the company and agreed to proceed. The consultant promised that we would receive a home WiFi router with antennas and a SIM card, and that the package would be uncapped. However, when the package arrived, it was only a Telkom SIM card and a portable WiFi router — not the home router we agreed upon. No clear information was provided about data limits or usage. After testing the service for two days, the WiFi stopped working completely. Since then, we have received no communication or support from Telkom, yet we are still expected to pay at month-end for a service that does not work and for equipment that was not what we agreed upon. This experience has left us feeling misled and unsupported. We request immediate clarification, proper equipment as promised, and a resolution to the non-functional service.
On Thursday 24 October 2025, I had a brakedown in town KwaDukuza. I remembered the vehicle is covered with Prime South Africa I clicked on "Roadside" the call was initiated I spoke with very friendly consultants who assisted me with a very high level of professionalism. The nearest tow truck was despatched within 15 minutes it arrived and towed the vehicle to Denzo Automotive Specialists. At 14h00 I was back on the road though I had to pay for the repairs as it's not covered snd I knew that along along, but excellent service. I can always choose you guys over and over again.
As a business owner managing multiple entities and compliance responsibilities, I find the SARS eFiling platform unnecessarily complex and poorly supported. The process of registering representative rights and activating tax types lacks clear, step-by-step instructions. Users are left to guess their way through the system, often spending hours—if not days—trying to resolve issues that should be straightforward. There is no intuitive guidance, no help prompts, and no accessible tutorials for these critical functions. This not only wastes valuable time but creates immense stress for taxpayers who are simply trying to remain compliant. I urge SARS to: Provide clear, updated instructions for registering representatives and tax types. Improve the user interface for easier navigation. Offer real-time support or chatbot assistance for common issues. Ensure that automated processes are actually functional and accessible. Tax compliance should not feel like a maze. Please prioritize usability and support for the sake of every South African taxpayer trying to do the right thing.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Office of the Public Protector, particularly Emeldah Chiliza, for stepping in when my expungement application had been left unresolved for months. Once LegalWise escalated the matter, Emeldah took swift and decisive action. Her intervention brought immediate resolution to a process that had been stagnant for over half a year. She demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and a clear commitment to upholding justice for ordinary citizens. The responsiveness and effectiveness of the Public Protector’s office reminded me that accountability still exists in our public institutions. Emeldah Chiliza, thank you for your dedication—you made a real difference in my life
After submitting my expungement application in 2024 and waiting over six months with no response from the relevant departments, I turned to LegalWise for assistance. I was fortunate to have Camilla Nzimande handle my case—her professionalism, empathy, and tenacity were outstanding. Camilla didn’t just follow up; she escalated the matter with precision and urgency, ultimately involving the Office of the Public Protector. Thanks to her efforts, my matter was resolved swiftly and efficiently. She kept me informed throughout and treated my case with the dignity it deserved. LegalWise proved to be more than just legal cover—they were a lifeline when the system stalled. I highly recommend their services, especially if you’re navigating complex or delayed legal processes. Thank you, Camilla, for restoring my faith in justice.
As a business owner managing multiple ventures, I rely heavily on efficient systems. Unfortunately, the CIPC portal has been a consistent source of frustration. Simple tasks like removing a director take days—not because of the process itself, but because the system logs me out just before submission. It’s unreliable, glitchy, and wastes valuable time. For entrepreneurs trying to stay compliant and grow ethically, this kind of inefficiency is a major setback. I hope they improve their platform to better support small businesses.
