Not even my animals will get treated like this at home!!!

In humane, no remorse and barbaric treatment to say the least. I came in just before 12pm Tuesday afternoon 19th May 2026 , I was rushed in with a severe 3 week headache as a cancer patient. The Dr in Triage bluntly told me your cancer is now on your brain. Go to window 2, open a file and go through that door to see if they can tell you what to do. The door I was sent into was the Polyclinic. This is where I was seen by emergency Drs, radiologist, nurses, and oncologist. They all told me this is an urgent matter and I need to be admitted immediately inorder to map a way forward and start treatment. We'll I would also imagine so because this is literally a time line between life and death (this is not the first time this hospital has left me risking the cancer spread because of making me wait). Wait on that plastic chair they said we will book your bed and get you sorted A.S.A.P. I been sitting on said small hard plastic chair for over 17 hours, with no sleep on strong pain medication to mask my pain, with no answers or further responses. My body is tense and my brain is tired but I cannot sleep because im seated in a small hard plastic chair. From early afternoon to sunrise the next day! Not allowed to move! Not allowed to speak up! Not allowed to question the smells and coughing next to me, even though my condition makes me nauseous and leaves me with an immune system that cannot fight back, not one of the staff even took into consideration that hey we cannot keep a cancer patient awake for 24 hours straight. Keep in mind, I'm a tax payer, been one for 17 years, and yet I pay as I earn at Charlotte Maxeke, not only that but I have to go to Donald Gorden Private hospital to spend 10s of thousands of rands to purchase my breast cancer treatment privately to bring it to Charlotte Maxeke for them to administer. Is this humane? Is this how sick and vulnerable is supposed to be treated? I have witnessed many others being neglected and even some being rolled out on a stretcher with a green canopy never to see the light of day again. In all honesty facing this hospital has become worse than facing cancer itself. Where's all the cancer advocates? I see many non profit organizations raking in donations blowing up balloons and doing cancer conferences at Charlotte Maxeke, singing Charlotte Maxekes praises, yet the same people they are advocating for is being ill treated and left for dead on the same grounds they celebrating!!! I have complained to the board on so many Seperate occasions, now my question is as a cancer patient am I really going to have to complain about every ward I enter? Every emergency admittance I end up in? Every clinic visit? Literally everytime there's an issue!

Discovery Health / Medical Cover is a ****

I signed up for Discovery Fexicare medical cover in 2023, since I signed up I have used it once for a GP consultation in last year, the consultation cost about R570. And I used it once at the pharmacy of which I could only get the cheapest antibiotics (not even the ones the GP prescribed), in total I have used about R700 thus far, since 2023 till now, Jan 2025 I have been paying almost R500 every single month for the medical aid. Last week I went to the Dentist and got an x-ray done, the dentist consultation fee was the same as the first GP visits fee last year, as the dentist and GP is in the same practice, thats why I went to that dentist because I know that Dr Peers practice takes my medical aid, this medical aid was very important to me because I got diagnosed with cancer in May 2024, and my cancer treatment is pricey, so I thought instead of canceling the medical aid to make ends meet, I would rather sacrifice the R500 over my cancer meds, so if I have any flu or dental issues I wouldn't have to stress about paying for a GP. Now like I said I went for a dental X-ray last week, and today I get a invoice from the Dr saying I need to make payment because the medical aid has declined my claim. My medical aid is supposed to cover dental x-ray, because that is part of my cover, that is why I went in the first place. If it wasn't the case I would have gone to a clinic for a referral to a hospital dentist instead. Long story short. I have seen enough videos on social media bashing Discovery and here I am today. After paying them thousands and claiming for less than a thousand rand one time, and then all of a sudden being declined a claim less than R600. And guess what? I won't even get back all the money I have paid them. I'm canceling my policy as soon as they open tomorrow! Please do yourself a favor and do not use Discovery. If this testimony isn't enough, please research them on social media before making use of their services, I will be taking this to social media as well, thankfully I have social media experience, so i plan on making my story go big, hec im even comsidering taking it to N.A.B newspaper and getting it into every single local paper. South Africa is in a mess as it is, Discovery is just another ***** contributing to people being ****med out their hard earned money. As a struggling cancer patient, my heart feels extremely sad over this whole situation, the saddest part of all is I'm not the only one suffering and being ****med by them. And to make it worse, I'm fighting my cancer the natural way with no Dr's assistance, and the amount of horror stories I have heard about cancer patients with full medical aid and hospital plan covers, using the medical route for their cancer and getting declined after paying Discovery hundreds of thousands! To be ****** by such a big organization is pathetic to say the least.

FNB (First National Bank)

Highly disappointed

FNB warning. Do not book any flight or car rental or infact any purchases in your FNB app, they quick to approve purchases and take the money but then you don't get the service you paid for! Then they give you a run around to try and reverse their mess ups. I was traveling from Joburg with my family and our car broke down in Ladysmith. On the 24th of December we rented a car from Avis using my FNB app to get home, FNB app showed availability and ALLOWED the payment to go off, once we got to Avis they told us they have no cars available and I have to call FNB to reverse it (I then had to book a private taxi from Ladysmith to KZN, meaning i paid for a rental and paid for a private taxi which costed more than the rental). FNB sent me a form to fill out for the reversal, I filled this form on the 24 of December and sent it through, they then told me I need proof from Avis and I got it and sent the email AGAIN TWICE. It's is now the 17th of January, I over spent my budget already paying for the rental and then I had to break it even further and hire a private taxi, thanks to FNBs great mess up I had to pay double the rental amount to now get a private taxi. Since we sent the forms we been trying to call FNB and sort it out. A 100 calls later and speaking to 100 diff departments I'm still not sorted out! How can this be ethical for such a big bank? You guys messed up my family's festive and now we going into the newyear still fyting. I left capitec where their service was on point and no 100 day waiting period to get assisted or speaking to 100 people not knowing what's going on. I really thought I left my previous bank for better. I am highly disappointed in FNB!

Do not take any loans with Finchoice. I have taken 2 loans with with them about two years back, it was a big loan so I had multiple installments over a few months, payments got hectic and I decided to settle the accounts once off and the amounts they sent me to settle was R10 621 and R1 680 which I settled both of them in June a few months ago with a company called credit worx, I even got a paid up letter. To date i am black listed on the credit bureau for 3 Finchoice accounts I am trying to buy a house for my family and my offer keeps getting declined due to my credit score reflecting badly on accounts I have settled in full. Finchoice will mess up your name and not work with you in the end. Stay away from from them.

Vodacom Remains useless

I had a contract with vodacom for about 8years, last year i decided NOT to upgrade as their customer service has gone to the dogs, nevertheless i decided to keep the number on month to month, I ended up forgetting about my vodacom number and after a few months i realised it was listed on my credit record (my fault for forgetting) I then decided to rather settle vodacom and close the contract completely, however almost 2months later after SETTLING my account vodacom is still listed on my credit record, to make matters worse i cant get hold of anyone to assit me with this.
