Travelstart Booking mess up led to me missing my flight
I had initially booked with travelstart for my trip to Sydney from Jnb, travelstart booked me with Qatar airways first, then last minute made an option to fly with Qantas and gave an option to confirm the Qantas flight, which I did. Day of flying, I get to the check in counters at Qantas OR tambo international, only to be informed that the booking was made but it was not confirmed by the travel agency. I missed my flight because of the incompetence of Travelstart. Everyone knows how difficult it is to reach anyone from the agency. My booking number was ZA09699304 . I need to leave urgently!

Use Absa or Standard bank for withdrawal
So I had the same problem as everyone trying to withdraw money from Skrill. Turns out 2 major banks Absa and Standard bank are the only ones that can process your withdrawal with ease. I first tried to withdraw to my Capitec account to which it refused outright, then tried Tymebank to which it was in the process of pushing it through, 3 days later the funds were returned to my skrill account with excess charges about R300 . I decided to open an absa account to avoid future complications. To avoid this back and forth use Absa or Standard bank. Their customer service is not aware of a South African problem or maybe they don't track their tickets because it's a common South African problem that's happened to many.

Thieves operating inside the store
Beware of scammers operating inside the MAKRO Woodmead shop pretending to be staff members, the wearing of covid19 masks is not helping us to identify the sheep from the wolves, I was a victim on the 9th of July 2020 at around 14H00. A guy who said by the name of Oupa a tall skinny guy with a bald head dark in complexion who said he was a staff member, dresses like staff, came up to me and offered to give me a 50% discount on all my items because he has vouchers that people do not redeem and he will use those to pay. He gave me his contact details 060 902 6093 (Google stored his number as they also took my phone) and said I must call him once I am done. He had an accomplice a short guy about 173cm light in skin complexion, dressed similar to what the staff wear as well who also pretend to be buying from the shop, he said he was buying electronics a macbook pro. The guy Oupa states that he will checkout with everything we should wait for him at McDonalds Woodmead. He calls me and says my items will be R2000 I should give him R950, he tells his acting friend that the for the Macbook he should give him R9000. The Oupa guy says everything is good because we will get receipts so if we need to return goods we won't have an issue with that. The guy arrives at McDonalds and says his acting friend should give him the money and he will bring his items, he says should also give him his phone so he can load airtime. After a while he comes with a packet with boxes which I suspect were part of their props. The guy had given his friend bank cards to pay with since he said he exceeded his daily limit and his phone. They pretend to have an argument over the the accomplice going to the cashier to verify if Oupa works at the shop (at the end I only realise this was a tactic) The guy offers me more goods, I tell him I just want my groceries I never came to purchase electronics, he is persistent on his offer and says the vouchers would be wasted if I don't take more. There is a third person in this a lady that pretends to be the cashier calls and says they have phones that they want to buy with the voucher, I should lend them R3000 they will return the R2000. Buoyed by the fact that the other guy received his goods, I was like okay, it should not hurt because I will get the money back. The guy then says he want to thank me by offering me a phone for my assistance. Now I was the one that was supposed to give them my cash plus card and phone to have airtime loaded. They both depart his friend says he is going to a store he will leave his goods at the parcel counter. After a few minutes when they have left, it dawns on me that these guys were working together and were not part of Makro staff and I was scammed and robbed. I definitely know nothing will be done about this, since this is South Africa! But this is for fellow customers to not learn the way I did, DO NOT TRUST ANYONE, EVEN INSIDE THE STORE!

It's a scam BEWARE
They send you an SMS the day before to rush you to come. They use vague language as to what your interview is about. It's a pity that these people waste jobseekers time and money.

Customer care
I would like to express my gratitude to Parmalat for the excellent customer care they have. I reported a product of theirs that tasted bad and they offered me a voucher worth three times the purchased yoghurt and I thought that was sincere of them. Parmalat really takes their products seriously in the eyes of the consumer and for that I appreciate their efforts. Much Respect!

Always offline
Their system is always offline, I bought a card from their vendors and every time I want to activate it their system is offline. The worst is that you always find their cashiers or consultants busy on the phone and they respond whilst on their cellphones. It's the most despicable thing that one can do. I understand that the service was meant for poor people in the township but the behaviour of the Rea Vaya staff is very negative, their jobs are just an excuse for job creation, they do not care about customer service and they are not helpful at all. I don't know the training they receive but it surely doesn't hold applicable when they are on duty. This has happened numerous times and I just wish something could be done! This I don't believe applies in a world class African city.
