We have two mobile phone accounts with Vodacom. On four separate occasions now we have had debits reflected on our invoices for 'Entertainment Services' which we neither app**** for or used. On 31/08/2022 for R188.79; 31/10/2022 for 91.34;; 31/01/2025 for R11.99; 28/02/2025 for 371.83. On each occasion we have visited the local Nelspruit VODACOM office, lodged a complaint and requested a credit, the most recent being yesterday 11 Feb 2025. The lady assisting us indicated that our was the second complaint she had received yesterday, and that it was almost a daily occurrence. This appears to be an orchestrated ***** happening frequently to VODACOM clients.

SEE BELOW OUR COMPLAINT AND KNP RESPONSE - Well handled by them, and we'll be back soon. Dear Sanparks, We were one of a six couple group that spent three nights at Satara on 12-14 September in bungalow E126. While the chalet was neat and clean, and the housekeeping staff efficient, the maintenance standards were extremely poor - see attached photographs – and the microwave oven was missing. On informing the office about these matters, the maintenance staff arrived promptly and undertook the repairs they were capable of handling. The fridge problem, air conditioner and towel rail remained unattended to for the duration of our stay. The microwave was replaced, but this unit did not operate, and a second was promptly supplied. THEIR RESPONSE Dear Mr JP Hughes Thank you very much for taking time to write a constructive feedback regarding your recent visit to Satara Camp. It is much appreciated, as it assist us to improve service delivery standards to all our valued guests. We also apologize for the inconvenience caused in this regard. We are happy to inform you that all issues raised has now been addressed accordingly by our Maintenance team. After the long lockdown, we had a huge backlog but the team has already embarked on a preventative maintenance plan to prevent similar future recurrence. Camp Management will continue to monitor progress in this regard. After careful consideration, Camp Management has decided to offer you a 10% discount (R506) as a compensation for the inconvenience experienced. The amount will be credited to your SANParks client code DREY0604 for future. Once again we apologize for the inconvenience experienced and we trust that your next visit to the camp will be most memorable.

We recently made an on-line R800 payment for electricity, and only R400 worth of units were allocated. On query with Prepaid24, we were informed that it was the local municipal office which issued the ticket. Surely its now incumbent on Prepaid24, who were recipients of the payment from us, to correct the situation?
My wife and I both have identical Top Up contracts. We both have roaming included. She however is able to make calls and SMS while roaming, and I cannot. The local Vodacom service centre cannot solve this problem of find the source. How do I get this anomoly corrected?
