I have been trying to resolve this issue with Vodacom for over a year, but I continue to encounter extremely poor customer service. My contract has still not been cancelled despite numerous attempts. Each time I request to speak with a manager in the cancellations department, I am told they are unavailable. Unfortunately, no one has been able to properly assist with resolving this matter.
At this point, I genuinely believe Vodacom is intentionally making it difficult for customers to cancel contracts. When requesting a premature cancellation quotation, the document reflects a subscription discount, yet when the cancellation is processed, they only cancel the handset portion while continuing to bill the subscription. When this is raised as a complaint, the process becomes unnecessarily drawn out. Even after multiple discussions and assurances that the contract would be cancelled, the subscription charges continued. I am now left with only a month remaining on the contract term, which essentially defeats the entire purpose of requesting a premature cancellation in the first place. The experience strongly suggests that the system is designed to discourage or delay cancellations rather than resolve them as agreed. This has been extremely frustrating and disappointing as a customer.
I would like to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unprofessional and rude conduct of the reception staff during an emergency visit to the hospital on 9 January 2026. On this day, my uncle was brought to the hospital by ambulance from Dunnottar clinic. As family members, we accompanied him during this emergency. Despite the circumstances, we were instructed by hospital staff to obtain his file on his behalf. While we comp****, this request itself raises concern, as it should not be the responsibility of family members—especially in an emergency situation. Had no family been present, it is unclear how this process would have been handled. This indicates that proper procedures were not followed. Upon arriving at reception, we queued as required. When we reached the front, we were asked to fetch the patient’s ID. We immediately did so and returned, only to be told that we had to go back and start the queue again. I explained that we had already been assisted and had only stepped away briefly to retrieve the requested document. The receptionist assisting us, whose name is Sizwe, responded by shouting at us and stated that to “make their lives easy” we were supposed to bring the hospital card. We explained that this was an emergency and that it was impossible to have a hospital card on hand. He dismissively said he did not want to hear any “stories” and insisted on the hospital card. This manner of communication was extremely rude, condescending, and inappropriate—particularly given that we were dealing with a medical emergency involving a family member. What made the situation worse was that the file was already in his possession and within close proximity, yet he chose to be deliberately unhelpful. When we informed him that we would be reporting his behavior, he responded that we could report him and that he did not care, implying that he routinely gets away with such conduct. This experience was distressing and unacceptable. Hospital reception staff are often the first point of contact in critical situations, and their behavior should reflect professionalism, empathy, and respect. I trust that this matter will be taken seriously and addressed accordingly to prevent similar incidents in the future. I will very disappointed with the hospital management should this not be attended to accordingly as failure to do so will propagate this behaviour.

Due to incomplete information supp**** to DSV, the delivery of the parcel was delayed. Despite this, there was no accountability taken and no support offered to escalate the matter with DSV to resolve it promptly. This level of service is extremely disappointing, particularly for a private client.
I was helped sufficiently and the customer care agent was friendly. Great service
The responses provided appear to be auto-generated, as concerns are never properly escalated and no one follows up on the issues raised. There is also no communication regarding the outcome of any supposed escalation. I repeatedly requested to speak with management, but was told they were either in meetings or promised a callback that never occurred. The only explanation consistently given is a lack of driver capacity. Overall, this has been an extremely disappointing experience and one of the worst customer service interactions I’ve encountered.
Very disappointing experience with DSV. After waiting almost two weeks for important documents due to an error on their side, I explained the urgency of the matter and was given a confirmed delivery slot on 30 December between 15:00 and 17:00. At 14:12, I received a message saying the driver was on the way, so I waited. By 16:30, the driver had still not arrived. When I contacted DSV, I was told the delivery had been cancelled — with no communication whatsoever from their side. When asking for an explanation, I was then told they couldn’t reach me, which is simply untrue, as I received no calls or messages. When they contacted the driver to see if delivery could still be made within the time slot, I was told he had already knocked off (this is before 17:00 as promised). Despite DSV offering special delivery times, no assistance was provided even after escalation. Poor communication, lack of accountability, and extremely frustrating service. I would not recommend DSV based on this experience.
I requested an early cancellation invoice from Vodacom and they sent it to me. On the invoice it says “early cancellation discount”. After paying the exact quoted amount and followed steps for early cancellation including doing a follow up; they delayed processing the cancellation which according to them meant I still owe for the months while they hadn’t processed the cancellation. On top of that, they said I only paid for the handset and hence the contract itself will continue until the last month. This obviously defeats the aim of the early cancellation and it means they didn’t apply the discount. I’ve been attempting to liaise with them but I am not getting any help. This is such a horrible experience and bad customer service.
The wig looks attractive in the shade (in store) until exposed to the sun then the wig looks like absolute plastic! She should have said it’s synthetic instead of “blended”. The pictures are a false adverti*****t as I went there personally and what is shown in pictures didn’t match what’s on display. The closure is botched!
