I am a registered MANCOSA student and feel compelled to share my experience because I do not want other students to go through the same stress, frustration, and financial loss that I have endured over the past few months. On 15 July 2025, I received a letter from MANCOSA accusing me of plagiarism for my Business Finance assessment. I immediately responded via email and also called the call centre, where I was advised that my email would be sufficient. Since then, I have followed up in July, August, September, and October — and still, I have not received a clear resolution or any meaningful feedback. Because the matter was “under review,” I was blocked from registering for or writing my supplementary exam on 5 August, and when I tried to access the MyMANCOSA portal, it simply showed “Sorry, content hidden.” I also paid for a remark, but to this day, I have not received any feedback or confirmation that it was processed. I was later told that I could meet with the marker, but after more than four months of delays and unanswered emails, I no longer see the point. I have lost confidence in the fairness and efficiency of the process. This entire experience has already cost me over R2000, not even including the amount I paid in full upon registration. I even went as far as getting legal advise for this matter to proof my innocence. What makes this worse is that I am not alone — I am on several WhatsApp groups with other students, and so many of them are equally frustrated, stressed, and emotionally drained by the lack of communication and accountability from MANCOSA. As full-time employed students, we already face enormous pressure balancing studies, work, and life — and MANCOSA’s poor support system only adds unnecessary stress and discouragement. This is my 3rd year of study and with the other university I have studied through, we were treated with the utmost importance and they accommodated us and our needs. I feel that I will NEVER study with Mancosa again, and also discourage anyone to do so. I am sharing my experience publicly because I sincerely hope it pushes MANCOSA to reflect on how students are being treated and to fix these ongoing issues. Education should empower and uplift us, not break us down with endless waiting, unanswered emails, and financial strain. All I ask is for fairness, respect, and accountability — not just for myself, but for every student who deserves better.
Extremely Disappointed with Print 24's Service I had an awful experience with Print 24 this Christmas. I contacted them on December 18th to confirm whether an order would arrive in time if placed before Christmas. Grant assured me it would. I placed and paid for my order on December 19th, opting for the extra-cost "Speedy Print" service. The order was supposed to be delivered on December 23rd but wasn’t even ready for the courier to collect on time. It was eventually collected on December 24th, making Christmas delivery impossible. I repeatedly followed up with their agents, Logan and Grant, who either misled me, shifted blame to the courier, or outright ignored my messages. The gift was meant to go to Canada with my sister on December 27th, but their broken promises left me empty-handed and heartbroken during what should have been a joyous time. Their failures caused immense stress and ruined my Christmas. Despite paying for priority service, they failed to deliver on every promise. I cannot recommend Print 24 and would urge others to look elsewhere for reliable printing services.
Visited Wellee Midstream on the 4th of March. Wanted to purchase a vehicle. Upon walking in we were greeted by a lady at the help desk with a straw in her mouth drinking her coffee, and that gave us a dirty look. The first thing I said to my husband was that the terrible service we just recieved from We buy cars around the corner wad definitely spilled over here too. Again, same as at We buy cars, not even 1 of the 1000 sales people asked if we needed help or what we were looking for... What happened to service in SA?
I was at the Midstream branch on Monday 4th March. Ready to purchase a car, with cash inhand. Out of all the sales people there not even 1 acknowledged us, greeted us or offered assistance. I was even almost driven over by a staff member on his phone on his hover board. Needless to say I left without a car. I decided to phone the branch and let them know that this type of service is not going to work. Upon my call the sales manager asked me if I once went to the help desk for assistance...... WHY MUST I GO THERE AND ASK FOR HELP???? Isn't that what sales people are paid to do??? I will never recommend or go to a We buy cars ever in my life. This is the attitude that causes our country to be where it is...
I ordered 2 gifts on the 21st. The delivery time was scheduled for the 22nd. Then upon payment the date changed to the 23rd. I was okay with it and arranged that someone be home for collection. Then on the 23rd I checked and the gifts stated "In process" at 2;45 I recieved an email /sms that the pacel will be deliveresld between 7 and 19h00.... it is now 20;00... I left my family in a restaurant to come home to collect the parcel, and nothing has been delivered yet. So not only did Netflorist destroy my family afternoon but I also have to go buy 2 other gifts fo the recipients so that I don't rock up on Christmas eve without gifts. I really want to say a few curse words inbetween here.
<p>We (me and extended family members) visited the Hazeldean Rocomamas on the 26th of December. What a disaster! First I phoned the morning to book a table for the 11 of us and when we got there nobody knew about the table and we had to wait to be seated. Then the waiter took forever to collect our drinks orders. We asked the waiter about the promotions (El Grande) and he could not tell us what is on the burger - and when asked how to specify a double or single on the menu form he said that we must just mark it and write single or double, but he is not sure. We all placed our orders at the same time - needless to say that we did not receive them together. We had to call random waiters the whole time to take our drinks orders because our waiter was MIA the whole time. When we received our food, all our burgers where cold, some buns still felt frozen. The meat and chips was ice cold and had to be sent back to the kitchen. 4 of us did not even receive the burgers that we ordered, I felt terrible that I had to swop burgers with my husband because we did not see the point in keeping to return our burgers to the kitchen and not eat as a group together. Whatever burger my husband and brother in law received made them want to vomit. I had to keep apologising for recommending that we go eat there. The manager did give us 1 cheesecake on the house but seriously... how do you divide a cheesecake between 11 unsatisfied clients?</p> <p><br />We spent R1650.00 (incl tips) which I feel could have been more if we had the service and the satisfaction that we should have got - which included the milkshakes and deserts that we could have enjoyed afterwards.</p>
I will never go to that place again and the name should be changed to Cocroachi's ... You service and food is terrible and worth a 1c coin... It sickens me to think that places can serve food in this way and let alone serve with such an attitude... I dont owe you anything... you owe me great service for going to your crap place and you should realise from the managment right down to the tiolet scrubber that if I didn't go to your restaurant you will not have a job
