Investigation Concluded – Remedial and Disciplinary Action Taken
Following an incident at Maponya Mall involving a field agent representing Credico South Africa, I lodged a formal complaint and requested an internal investigation. I wish to confirm that the matter has now been resolved. Credico South Africa issued a written apology and provided a detailed investigation report. It was clarified that the agent involved in the public interaction was Mr. Churchill Lithaba, not Mr. Tshepo Mnisi as initially believed. Due to the absence of CCTV footage, no disciplinary action could be taken against Mr. Lithaba, but remedial steps were recommended, including mandatory sensitivity training on LGBTQ+ awareness, anti-**************, and professional conduct. Separately, Mr. Tshepo Mnisi was found to have violated the POPIA Act by contacting me directly and interfering with the investigation. A disciplinary process was initiated, resulting in a written warning and the revocation of his access to customer data in future investigations. The matter was referred to SAPS, who confirmed that it does not fall under ******** jurisdiction and should be handled internally by the employer. I appreciate Credico’s commitment to resolving the issue procedurally and respectfully, and I consider the case closed on my side, contingent on the implementation of the recommended actions. This review serves as a public record of the resolution and the steps taken to uphold professional standards and data protection compliance.

Outstanding Service from Katlego at Ackermans Connect – Maponya Mall
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Katlego, the branch manager at Ackermans Connect in Soweto Maponya Mall, for her exceptional service and unwavering patience throughout my laptop repair process. From the moment I walked into the store, Katlego went above and beyond to assist me in booking a repair with SMD (Connex Repairs). I had to leave my laptop at the store while we waited for confirmation from SMD, and Katlego made sure it was kept safe and secure during that time. She kept me informed every step of the way, and once SMD responded, she ensured the laptop was collected promptly. After the repair was completed, SMD sent me the quote via email and returned the laptop to the store. Katlego once again took great care of it until I was able to collect it. When I fetched it yesterday, she was just as friendly and genuinely happy that my laptop had been fixed. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly stood out. Katlego is doing an outstanding job as a manager, and I’m grateful for her support. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and reassuring one. Thank you, Katlego!

Harassment by Clientèle Life Agent – Legal Action to Follow
On 31 July 2025 at 16:14, I was harassed by a field agent representing Clientèle Life at Maponya Mall. The agent, Mr. Tshepo Mnisi, made unsolicited, discriminatory, and degrading remarks about my ***uality and medical status, stating that I “don’t have testosterone” and referring to me in a manner that alluded to gender-based violence (GBV). These comments were ********, deeply offensive, and constituted public harassment. Prior to this incident, Mr. Mnisi was also seen aggressively approaching an elderly woman who clearly resisted his interaction—raising concerns about his overall conduct and suitability for the role. As a customer passing by, I was subjected to verbal harassment that caused significant emotional distress. This behavior violates several legal protections under South African law: - Protection from Harassment Act (Act 17 of 2011) This Act protects individuals from unwanted conduct that causes harm or inspires fear—applicable even in public or commercial spaces. - Employment Equity Act (Section 6) and the Code of Good Practice on Harassment (2022) These recognize harassment based on ***ual orientation or gender identity as unfair **************, and require employers to take accountability for the actions of their representatives. - ILO Convention 190 (Ratified by South Africa) Frames gender-based violence and harassment as workplace safety issues, requiring proactive prevention by employers. I am currently preparing to take legal action against Mr. Mnisi and will be lodging formal complaints with: - Clientèle Life’s HR department - South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) - Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) I expect Clientèle Life to investigate this matter thoroughly, take disciplinary action, and provide a formal written response. Failure to act will further reinforce their liability for negligence and disregard for customer safety.
