Active since Sep 2025
Good day. My name is Karien Wessels 32 years old and I have been working for WILD X Adventures for 2 years( working 7days a week working 11 to 13 hours a day and were only off when we were told to be off. . We were staying on premises in Wilderness. Met alot of people at the Wilderness site and my husband worked from Plet (The Crags, Harkerville, Sedgefield, Wilderness, Montaque Pass George , Oudtshoorn, Capetown Atlantis, Swellendam to Montaqu, Melkbos ...and driving to PE to get bike parts as well. He was the operation Manager mostly Gardenroute but did everything... We worked 7 days a week... and I have 4 small boys. Last one born in November 2024. We were forced of the premises with a private security company Wilderness Defense Force July 3rd 2025. We had to leave the company ground in Wilderness with only our clothes in black bags.. We were threatened with police and welfare workers. With many false accusations. He did not only force us off his premises... He forced us to leave the province. We were held hostage by the security company the whole day on street with our kids until we climbed on a bus 11 hours to our destination.Our kids(8 months, 4 years,6years and 9 years). Our kids was in school... We had a lovely dog called Josh...we were forced to leave him there rescued pitbull from Sampets. Everyone loved him. Clients and us. We had to leave all our belongings. They called Sampets and said I left my dog there... We abused him... and he even slept in our 1 bedroom house that we designed the living room into another bedroom The security came into our house without a (lasbrief) went through the whole house searching but not finding any drugs. He bought us a car and we paid him R2000 a month for 11 months and now he is saying we rented it by him.He kept the car and all our belongings. He said he will send all our stuff to us if we leave. I went to open a case at the CCMA because he did not even pay us is the last month that we worked. He is refusing to send our belongings because I went to open a case at the CCMA.. with one days notice he said he is going to give all our belongings to charity if we dont come and get it the next day. We don't have money to get our belongings to us over a distance of 1000km.11 hours ride with bus... I have no car , no money. Not even a s****. I can't pay school fees.. but thanks the Lord Jesus Christ my kids is going to school for free at this stage. I had a hysterectomy a day after my baby was born and 2 weeks after my baby was born I started working again. I got paid only for the days I worked. I could not claim UIF. So I am reporting this story... not only for myself but for every other person that this has been done to. And that people would be aware not to fall into this trap (I have work for you for the next 10 to 15 years SPAM). There are a lovely couple in Montaqu that has the same moral of story but they are still in the western cape.. yesterday he came with police , invaded their house... and took a lot of their belongings , claiming it is his. WildX Adventures don't employ people , but you work as a mechanic, receptionist, booking agent, operation Manager.. but you are not entitle to any benefits... when you start to make noice, you get fired and dismissed. I have seen it happen to so many people. They immediatly block you so that you don't make a bad review... and if you do make a review he whatsapp and threaten you with lawyers ect. This couple also have a 6 year old... and he invaded their house with police... He has a lot of money. Money talks..... but since July 3rd 2025 he kept all our stuff and still has everything. I don't know who is going to help me but I am done keeping quite. I am talking for every single person that this has been done to.. And if you want names I can give it to you. 95 percent of his company guides is ******* immigrants. He has 17 branches. And he can't give us as South Africans a normal chance of living. I am sorry to all the people that this has also been done to. My cincere care .Don't fall for this .
