My daughter is a student at Tshwane University of Technology and currently stays at Little Manhattan Student Accommodation. I am extremely concerned about the living conditions and the lack of response from management regarding serious maintenance issues. Since my daughter moved in on 4 February 2026, several essential appliances in their unit have been faulty and the situation has still not been resolved. The stove has been a problem from the beginning, with only one plate working. Recently, a maintenance technician came to fix it, but instead of resolving the problem, the stove now does not switch off at all. The students now have to switch it off at the plug after using it, which is extremely dangerous and poses a serious fire hazard in a student residence. The microwave has not been working at all since she moved in. In addition, the fridge is also faulty, as only the freezer works while the fridge section does not cool properly, making it difficult for students to store food safely. There are also Wi-Fi issues. The internet only works in the study lounge, but does not work in the students’ bedrooms, which defeats the purpose of providing internet access to students who need to study and complete assignments from their rooms. Furthermore, there are frequent power outages, which disrupt the students’ daily living and studying environment. What is most frustrating is that I have sent multiple emails reporting these issues, but I have received no response from management. As a parent, it is very concerning that serious safety and maintenance issues affecting students are being ignored. I request that Little Manhattan Student Accommodation urgently address these issues, particularly the dangerous stove, the faulty fridge and microwave, the Wi-Fi connectivity problems, and the ongoing power issues. Most importantly, management should respond to complaints and communicate with parents and students when problems are reported. I hope this complaint will finally receive the attention it deserves and that immediate action will be taken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the students.
I took out R1749 from Mobi Money, and now I owe R10 627.66. I'm phoning their representative. I've written an email and don't answer calls, but nobody has contacted me yet. I'm let down.
