Today, I drove to Randburg Square to support Pedro's restaurant, but the journey was unpleasant as I passed through a very busy and kind of neglected Pretoria street. Honestly, Randburg Square itself is in a sad state—it’s untidy and in desperate need of attention. I couldn't help but wonder what the local government and Vukile, the owners of Randburg Square, are doing about it. I did not even bother to go inside the mall to check Pedros restaurant I just was put off. I stopped to chat with a local barber and asked him why the area had become so rundown, almost like a dumping ground. He explained that many buses, trucks, and containers parked there day and night are owned by Malawians. What really shook me is that, he said at night, these people relieve themselves anywhere, and by morning, the place reeks of sewage. Those who have caravans start cleaning up in the morning before preparing food, while others are cutting hair or fixing cars. The Malawian community, he said, lives in the buses and trucks. It’s clear that the place is in disarray, yet the government seems to be doing nothing to address the situation. Our country and suburbs are being rundown by foreign people and our government is mute. My question is why are they allowed to use that parking lot in the first place, who are they paying... I'm just confused and wondering why the owners of the square and law enforcement in the area ain't doing anything to stop this nonsense.
Complaint Regarding Unsatisfactory Fridge Repair Service I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the fridge repair service provided by Brian and Alan from Lariam appliances on November 26, 2024, and again on December 2, 2024. Unfortunately, the issue I originally reported remains unresolved, and my attempts to resolve this matter have been met with frustration and unprofessional customer service. On November 26, I explained to the technicians that the top section of my fridge was not cooling. After inspecting the appliance, Brian claimed the sensors needed replacing and quoted a cost of R3,100 for the repair. However, despite this, the problem was not addressed effectively. On December 1, I reported that the entire fridge had stopped cooling. Despite this escalation, Brian was sent again, despite my concerns about his apparent lack of experience with Bosch fridges. Brian instructed me to turn off the fridge and restart it at 5 PM. After following his instructions, I discovered that not only was the top section still not cooling, but the middle and vegetable compartments were also unaffected. This ongoing issue has caused me considerable frustration. The lack of clear communication regarding the root cause of the problem only added to my dissatisfaction. Seeking a resolution, I contacted a specialist technician with experience in Bosch fridges. Upon inspection, it became clear that the necessary repairs had not been performed, nor had any parts been replaced. The Lariam technicians had only tampered with the fridge, resulting in further damage to the fan, raising serious doubts about their competence and professionalism. I am deeply concerned that no genuine effort was made to resolve the issue. Additionally, I am disheartened by the fact that they have taken my money and are now unreachable—my calls, emails, and WhatsApp messages have been ignored. I am prepared to escalate this matter by reporting it to the SAPS and contacting local media outlets, including Claxton Newspapers, to raise awareness about substandard fridge repair services. I also strongly urge others to thoroughly review feedback and avoid service providers with poor reputations, unskilled technicians.
