I purchased a pressure cooker which arrived already bumped/damaged when I opened the package. I immediately returned the item in the same condition it was received. To my absolute disappointment, the item was sent back to me exactly the same way, still damaged and not even wrapped properly. This shows a complete lack of care, quality control, and respect for the customer. At this point, I am extremely annoyed and frustrated. I no longer want an exchange. I want a full refund immediately. I should not be inconvenienced further for a fault that was not mine to begin with. This experience has been very disappointing and far below acceptable customer service standards.
A heartfelt thank you to the amazing staff at Vetho Guest House in Ballito. Your incredible treatment, patience, and genuine understanding of my daughter’s condition made our stay truly special. You created a space where we could relax and feel at ease, something that is not always easy for us. We had a beautiful, calm, and stress-free stay, and it meant more to us than words can express. We will most definitely be coming back.
Unacceptable Treatment of Elderly Customer – Vodacom Liberty Mall Pietermaritzburg Dear Vodacom Customer Care, I am writing to formally report a very concerning and unacceptable experience my mother had at the Vodacom store located at Liberty Mall, Pietermaritzburg. My mother visited the store to request assistance in connecting gadgets that she had purchased online. These products were bought because they were sold to her as compatible with Vodacom services. Unfortunately, upon arrival at the store, she was assisted by a male staff member who was extremely rude and dismissive. He bluntly told her to “go back to the people who sold her the gadgets” and refused to assist her. This treatment was deeply disrespectful, particularly considering that my mother is an elderly woman—possibly older than the staff member who attended to her. She was left with no choice but to step outside the store and contact Vodacom customer care telephonically. Only after this call was made did the same staff member then assist her. I find this behaviour disturbing and unacceptable. My questions are: Why would a loyal Vodacom customer be treated in such a manner? Is this the standard of customer service Vodacom provides? Was any consideration given to the age and vulnerability of the customer seeking assistance? This experience left my mother distressed and humiliated. I am extremely disappointed and disgusted by the lack of professionalism and basic respect shown to her. I request a formal apology from the store and the staff member involved. My mother can be contacted directly on 076 438 8045 for this purpose. I trust that Vodacom will take this complaint seriously and address the matter urgently to prevent similar incidents in the future. Regards, Nokuthula
Complaint: Discriminatory Seating Practices and Inconsistent Service at Panarottis The Grove Mall I am writing to raise a serious concern about the treatment I have been receiving at Panarottis. My daughter, who has special needs, has developed a strong interest in your restaurant, which is why we visited twice this past week — on Saturday and again yesterday. During the week, we once received excellent service from a very professional waiter, and that positive experience made us comfortable to return. Unfortunately, the treatment we received over the weekend and yesterday was the complete opposite. There seems to be a clear preference in how tables upstairs are allocated. On one occasion, I was even asked to move from my table to accommodate another group of a different race. Yesterday, I was told that all tables upstairs were “fully booked,” which made it impossible for me to properly monitor my daughter. As a result, she wandered to other customers’ tables and took children’s toys, causing unnecessary stress and embarrassment — something that could have been avoided had we been seated where I could see her properly. It is painful to feel as though certain customers are valued more than others. As a parent of a child with special needs, I rely on an environment that is fair, accommodating, and consistent — not selective. I am requesting that Panarottis management urgently address the discriminatory seating practices and ensure that all customers are treated equally and with respect. I hope this matter will be taken seriously and that appropriate steps will be taken to prevent such experiences in the future.
I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the poor service I have been receiving from First for Women Insurance. For several months now, they have been deducting my premium a day before my payday, which has caused serious inconvenience and disrupted my budget. This is not the first time this has happened, in January, they did the same, leaving me stranded and unable to buy stationery and lunchbox items for my daughter as she was returning to school. On Monday, 13 October 2025, I called to cancel my insurance policy, and the consultant who assisted me told me I would still be covered for the month of October. This was very confusing because, on a previous occasion when I tried to cancel, I was told that if I cancelled on the day, my cover would end at midnight of that same day. It is extremely concerning that such an established insurance company provides inconsistent and misleading information to its customers. I had already secured a new insurance policy that was activated on the same day (13 October), which is why I cancelled my policy with First for Women. Despite this, they still went ahead and deducted my premium, even though I no longer require their services. I could not reverse the payment because it was done via debit check. I therefore demand a full refund of my October premium within 7 days of this complaint, as I am no longer covered nor wish to be associated with First for Women. This experience has left me deeply disappointed, and I will not hesitate to escalate this matter to the Ombudsman for Short-Term Insurance should the issue not be resolved promptly.

Dear Capitec Customer Support, I am writing to raise a serious complaint regarding my license disk renewal, which I app**** and paid for on 16 September 2025 through Capitec Bank. I have proof of payment available should it be required. Despite following the correct process, the parcel containing my license disk has not been delivered to me. The delivery driver buzzed at my gate, and because I was in a meeting, I immediately provided him with the exit code. However, the parcel was never handed over, and the driver (+27 71 105 9733) has since blocked me. This is unacceptable, especially as this is an essential document that I urgently require. I request urgent intervention from Capitec Bank to ensure that: 1. My license disk is delivered to my address without delay. 2. The delivery provider is held accountable for their unprofessional conduct. 3. Written confirmation is provided that my application and payment have been properly processed. Details: • Application Date: 16 September 2025 • Proof of Payment: Available on request • Driver Contact: +27 71 105 9733 • Name: FN Mbeje • Contact: 07262278670 Please treat this as urgent. I expect immediate feedback and resolution. Sincerely, Nokuthula
Non-Delivery of Parcel and Unprofessional Driver Conduct Complaint: I am extremely disappointed with the service I received. I was expecting a delivery containing my license disk, and although the driver buzzed at the gate, I immediately sent him the exit code since I was in a meeting at the time. Despite this, the parcel was never delivered to me. To make matters worse, the driver (contact number: +27 71 105 9733) has since blocked me, which is unacceptable and highly unprofessional. This has caused me unnecessary stress and concern, as I have no idea what he intends to do with my license disk. This parcel is very important to me, and I expect it to be delivered to my house by tomorrow without fail. I also expect urgent feedback on what corrective action will be taken regarding this driver’s conduct. At this point, my trust in your service has been severely damaged. Please resolve this matter immediately. Desired Outcome: My license disk delivered to my address tomorrow. An explanation and accountability for the driver’s behavior. Assurance that such conduct will not happen again.

Here’s a polished version of your complaint that you I am very disappointed with the poor service I experienced at your Grove Mall branch. On two separate occasions, the same teller was extremely rude to me. What’s even more frustrating is that despite reporting this on your Twitter page, I have received no response from your side. It is unacceptable that customers are treated this way, and it seems there is no consequence management in place for staff who behave unprofessionally. I would appreciate it if this matter could be taken seriously and addressed urgently.
I would like to thank the staff at Bounce Menlyn Maine for their kindness and understanding towards my daughter, who has special needs. Their patience truly humbled me, and I pray that God blesses them abundantly. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the name of the lady who assisted us, but her support meant so much. We often struggle in other entertainment areas, but Bounce gave us hope and showed us that inclusivity is possible.
