In performing the function of Project Engineer, more meaningfully as an Education Support Advocate, serving on a voluntary and humanitarian basis, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Edutel Higher Education (Pty) Ltd, an associate company of Edutel Holdings (Pty) Ltd, for an exemplary and truly exceptional customer service experience. From first contact to resolution, the standard of professionalism, responsiveness and genuine care demonstrated was nothing short of outstanding. What makes this experience particularly noteworthy is that such excellence was extended not only to enrolled students, however also to me, a member of the general public. This speaks volumes about an institution that values people first, irrespective of status or affiliation. Having engaged extensively within the arenas of the Skills Development, Education and Training spheres, I am fully aware that this is a demanding and often under-appreciated industry, yet Edutel Higher Education rises above the challenge through its commitment to service, clarity of communication and institutional integrity. The coordinated efforts of all departments involved were evident throughout, reflecting a culture of collaboration and shared purpose. Special commendation is due to the members of staff who make the magic happen - Their guidance, patience and willingness to assist went beyond expectation and were delivered in a manner that can only be described as par excellence. Knowledgeable, courteous and solution-driven, they embody the values of excellence and service that any leading education provider should aspire to uphold. I extend my best wishes to the entire Edutel Higher Education constituency as you continue your important work in advancing education, skills development and capacity building.

It is not often that one encounters an individual within a public institution who genuinely embodies the spirit of service excellence — however Juanita Malan-Hendricks, Education and Training Quality Assurance (ETQA) Officer at the Education, Training and Development Practices Sector Education and Training Authority (ETDP SETA) in the Western Cape, has proven to be that rare exception. In my capacity as a third-party stakeholder assisting a former learner to obtain the long-overdue SETA-stamped Certificate — for a qualification completed as far back as 2019 — I had engaged with what felt like nearly every Member of Staff at the ETDP SETA offices in the Western Cape. Yet, progress seemed slow and the process daunting, until I had the privilege of engaging with Juanita Malan-Hendricks. From the very first interaction, it was evident that she approached her work with remarkable integrity, empathy and dedication. Despite the matter falling somewhat outside her immediate scope of responsibility, Juanita took it upon herself to go the extra mile — ensuring that communication was clear, follow-ups were consistent and that a customer-centric approach was maintained at all times. Her unwavering commitment, professionalism and genuine care for the people behind the paperwork stand as a true reflection of what public service excellence should look like. Even when faced with challenges, I am sure that she demonstrates patience, warmth and persistence — restoring faith in the SETA System and setting a commendable example for her colleagues and the organisation as a whole. Juanita Malan-Hendricks, thank you for your kindness, your humanity and your tireless effort in ensuring that service delivery is not just an obligation, however a calling. You have truly made a lasting impact and your work deserves to be recognised and celebrated publicly. With sincere gratitude and the utmost respect, Tyrone Linroy

City of Cape Town, Since lodging my Service Request with the City of Cape Town on April 07 2025, I unfortunately experienced a rather frustrating journey – being redirected from one Department to another, trying to connect the dots between different Divisions and being issued with multiple Reference Numbers, along with a list of contact details for the Kuils River Depot, with little clarity regarding its internal operations... ...and all of the chaos and crisis took a change the moment I got in touch with the Kuils River Depot. I was warmly welcomed and assisted by one of its Members of Staff, Stanley Booysen, who was friendly, courteous and genuinely eager to help. He attended to my concerns to the best of his ability and demonstrated commendable professionalism Following this, I was fortunate to be assisted by Daniel Benjamin Williams, who introduced himself clearly and took immediate ownership of the matter. He provided me with a comprehensive step-by-step explanation of the process, ensuring I fully understood what to expect from start to finish. His clear communication, knowledge and attentiveness made all the difference. It is this kind of exceptional customer service – professional, empathetic and solution-focused, yet kind, pleasant and respectful – that restores trust in services rendered by local authorities. I am confident that, all thanks to the efforts of Daniel Benjamin Williams and his colleagues, the matter will be resolved by Friday, June 13 2025. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to both Members of Staff of the City of Cape Town, Stanley Booysen and especially Daniel Benjamin Williams, for going above and beyond. Gentlemen, your dedication to service excellence surely did not go unnoticed today! With my warm regards and every good wish, Tyrone Linroy Proud Citizen

I am extremely disappointed with the client service offered by MANCOSA, however not that of the Student Services Department. While I acknowledge that this Student Services Department is often at the mercy of other internal departments, it is unacceptable that they bear the brunt of student frustration. As the first point of contact, the Student Services Department is often inundated with queries and issues that are outside of their control. Despite their best efforts to provide timely and accurate feedback, they are frequently blamed for delays and inefficiencies caused by other departments. This lack of accountability and internal communication is appalling. Students are left feeling frustrated, ignored, and undervalued. The Student Services Department is doing an exceptional job with the resources they have, but they are being set up for failure by the very system they operate within. MANCOSA needs to take responsibility for their internal inefficiencies and provide better support to their Student Services Department. Until then, students will continue to suffer from poor service and the reputation of the institution will suffer. I urge MANCOSA to address these systemic issues and provide better training, resources and support to their Student Services Department. It is time to stop passing the buck and start taking ownership of the student experience. Disgruntled Student Tyrone Linroy
