They charged me R2300.00 to fix my washing machine, immediately after the technician left the machine started having issues. Whilst the technician was here, he dropped the machine on the floor and kicked it back into place. I called the technician to let him know on Tuesday last week. He said he would send someone on Wednesday, no one arrived and he didn’t call to notify me. On Thursday he said he would send someone, no one arrived and he didn’t bother to call me. On Thursday evening I requested a refund, he refused to refund my money, he said he’d come over the weekend to fix the machine. I wasn’t available on Saturday. I video called Sunday morning to show him the issue, he said he’d send someone out on Sunday. Eventually at 12:00 I called him again, he said he’d send someone after 15:00 then it change to next week. He arrived on Monday morning after 10:00, inspected the machine and said it needed a door mechanism from Bosch, he needed to leave to get a specific part from Bosch. He didn’t come back, eventually I called him in the afternoon to ask if he was coming back, he said he was waiting to find out if Bosch had stock of the door mechanism. It’s a week later, he refuses to refund my money, I cannot get him to commit to fixing the machine in a timely manner. This man brings his son on-site with him, his son does not stay to assist his father, rather he patrols the property whilst his father is busy. He is rude, has no customer service insight and made me feel uncomfortable in my own home. Do not use them, he’ll fix your machine but damage it in a different way, causing you to call him back. If your machine breaks, you’ll be left without assistance and your money.
If you are a parent who enjoys being blindsided every six months with the news that your child “might have to repeat the year” with absolutely no prior communication, no early warnings, and no support plan, then Bateleur College may be perfect for you. If you are comfortable being told that your child is “remedial,” with little explanation and no constructive guidance, and being made to feel that if you don’t like the situation you should simply leave, then this may also be the ideal school for you. If you’re prepared to sacrifice 1–3 hours of your personal time every evening to reteach your child the very work that should have been covered during the school day, driven by fear that they might be asked to repeat the year, only to be told later that you are the source of their academic difficulties because you’ve “put too much pressure on them,” then look no further: Bateleur is the perfect school for you My personal experience with Bateleur College has included: * Sudden and severe academic warnings presented as emergencies, despite no previous communication. * Being told there is “nothing the school can do,” instead of being offered support or intervention. * A complete lack of follow-up after raising serious concerns about my child’s wellbeing. * Repeated dismissive responses when asking for clarity or accountability. I am posting this not out of anger, but so that other parents can make informed decisions about whether this environment aligns with what they expect from a school. In my experience, communication, support, and professionalism were significantly lacking.

If you are comfortable being told that your child is “remedial,” with little explanation and no constructive guidance, and being made to feel that if you don’t like the situation you should simply leave, then this may also be the ideal school for you. If you want to sacrifice 1-3 hours in the evening going over the work that should have been taught during the academic day, so that you child isn’t forced to repeat a grade, only to be told that you are putting pressure on your child, then Bateleur College is for you. My personal experience with Bateleur College has included: * Sudden and severe academic warnings presented as emergencies, despite no previous communication. * Being told there is “nothing the school can do,” instead of being offered support or intervention. * A complete lack of follow-up & accountability after raising serious concerns about my child’s wellbeing. * Repeated dismissive responses when asking for clarity or accountability. I am posting this not out of anger, but so that other parents can make informed decisions about whether this environment aligns with what they expect from a school. In my experience, communication, support, and professionalism were significantly lacking. If you want a **more sarcastic**, **more explosive**, or **more formal** version, I can create all three.
I had used Fourie to transport my 7 year old daughter to school for almost 2 years and had to cancel due to her temper. Fourie has anger Issues and will shout at the parents, the kids and will speed when under personal pressure. Upon cancelling her contract, she tried to blackball me in the market by discouraging other drivers to transport my child.
