Fit24Gym Ballito - My disgust at the condition of the male change rooms
I have been a member at Fit24 Gym in Ballito for 18 months or so. In this time I have had frequent cause to bring to their attention the dismal condition of the male showers and toilets. In fact I have been to the front desk 4 times and twice spoken to the manager to request that they do something about the missing shower doors, broken mixers and missing shower heads. As of this morning 25 Feb 2026 - five out of six showers have missing or broken mixers. At least three of them have shower doors that have been broken off and never replaced and at least two are missing shower heads, one of which simply has a hole in the wall and the other has just a pipe jutting out. Unfortunately this is not the worst of the problems facing members who frequent this gym. The toilet bowls in the male change rooms are seldom, if ever, clean. This morning it was a delightful three out four toilets that were lined with traces of faecal matter; but alas it gets worse. The large toilet (which is the first cubicle on the left when you walk into the toilet area) is clearly for the use of disabled or wheelchair bound members. I occasionally use it if the other three are too unsightly. On Monday morning this week (23rd Feb 2026) I walked into this cubicle only to find a toilet that appeared to have been spray painted in what can only be described as brown goo! Toilet paper hung from the roll and lay in bits and pieces on the floor around the bowl. I reported this to one of the salesmen and to the front desk, where the manager was standing with another staff member. They assured me, as they have done so many times before, that they would "get someone to look at it". This morning (25 Feb 2026) 48 HOURS LATER - NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! I decided to take photographs of the toilets and shower area in question. Unfortunately Hello Peter does not seem to have a feature where one can attach pics. Although perhaps in the interest of not causing too much retching and vomiting I should refrain from showing it around or posting it on any social media platforms. In all my years training in gyms throughout South Africa, what I saw at Fit24 Ballito this week is the singular most disgusting thing I ever seen in a gymnasium change room. I can only imagine the horror that a disabled person would experience having to be confronted with this sight when it is their sole option to relieve themselves. In the face of numerous requests to remedy these problems the totally lack of action on the part of the Gym - speaks volumes.

MTN fraudulently debiting my bank account
I went into MTN head office on the 6th February 2018 and met with a lady from their Fraud Department (Lebohang) in the foyer. My complaint was regarding continuing debits of R519.00 per month which have been going off my bank account despite the fact that I have had NO CONTRACT with MTN for years as I migrated to Vodacom well over a year ago. These debits started going off on 30/09/17 and continued on ...31/10/17...30/11/17...30/12/17...31/01/18...and now 28/02/18 this gives a total off R3114.00 which MTN has essentially stolen from me. Despite 6 emails, the fact that I have submitted a signed affidavit, logged 3 online complaints with their customer care line and that I have twice gone into their head office and spoken to persons from their fraud department I have still have had absolutely no assistance from MTN on this matter whatsoever. On March 16th I was asked to supply my I.D. number again. Today 11 April I was once again asked to supply my I.D. number. After supply it for a 3rd time I was then asked to resubmit my affidavit (an original document which is at MTN) as they had lost it! Incompetence of the highest order and a "we don't give a damn" attitude pervades all their communications and they continue to steal my money??
