Bad Medical Aid
This is probably the Biggest **** Pulled off by the Former ANC Ministers. It was sold with the idea of affordability; now it's becoming a nightmare and expensive without consultation with members and unions.

Just Kick It !!!
Hi Lourina, The refusal to pay what is legitimately due to us will now be disputed by your company. For the record, the leaking sink was reported on two separate occasions. It was repaired and subsequently repaired again. Despite this, the leak caused damage to the cupboard and the adjoining wall. It is therefore perplexing that no maintenance tickets reflecting these reports appear on your system. We find this difficult to reconcile, particularly as we have consistently acted in good faith and have no reason to fabricate maintenance issues. A similar contradiction arose in relation to the painting and the leaking roof matter. We were expressly instructed to repaint the room using the exact paint supp**** by your agency, only to later be informed that the colour was “not the same.” One is left to reasonably question how responsibility for that discrepancy could lie with the tenant. Regrettably, the handling of these matters gives the impression that your company is less than objective in its assessments. It appears that deposits are being retained to address general repairs and remedial work on units for which no owner-approved maintenance applications were lodged, despite such maintenance falling under the oversight of your agency. We have, without dispute or resistance, accepted responsibility for minor damages, and the associated costs were deducted without issue. However, attributing responsibility to us for damage caused by a leaking sink, coupled with the ongoing reliance on missing “tickets” and uncer*****y around who attended to repairs, has become tiresome and unreasonable. For completeness, my wife has already submitted photographic and documentary evidence to your office. Furthermore, your own inspectors remarked during the exit inspection that the materials used in the units are of poor quality and that workmanship is substandard—an observation which aligns with our experience. Should this matter remain unresolved, we reserve the right to place this entire correspondence on Hello Peter, allowing the public to draw its own conclusions regarding the objectivity and fairness of your company’s processes. I trust this matter will now be reconsidered with the seriousness it warrants. Regards, Mr Brown 0824698029 This is how this Industry Operates, and We Lived @ 146 Leah Terrac,e Westering, Gqeberha. They are slow to respond, don't wanna take blame for certain things and will use your deposit to fix the owner's flat, meaning everyone will lose out on their deposits left, right and centre, even if you dispute things and send them voice notes and pictures as evidence,e it falls on deaf ears.

This has left us no choice but to use your services, regardless of the nature or urgency of the medical condition. At no stage were any formal payment arrangements concluded between you and me. In the absence of such an agreement, I will continue to make monthly payments based on what I can reasonably afford. Should this matter be escalated further through legal channels, I am prepared to pursue all available remedies. I will also formally expose and report these practices to the relevant oversight bodies for investigation, as the lack of disclosure and engagement on payment arrangements is unacceptable.

Take Alot. Com
I wish to formally register my dissatisfaction with both your customer service accessibility and the handling of my recent order. From a workplace environment, we do not have access to 087 numbers. Expecting customers to use personal cell phones to contact your call centre—only to be placed on hold for extended periods—is unreasonable and costly. This is not an acceptable or customer-friendly support model. Furthermore, the so-called alternatives provided are ineffective: The WhatsApp line yields no meaningful assistance. Emails sent receive no response, and no one calls back. No functional alternative landline or direct support number is provided. This leaves customers with no practical way to resolve urgent issues, which is unacceptable for a company of Takealot’s size and market dominance. To compound the matter, I placed and paid for an order with a confirmed delivery date of tomorrow, only to be informed—without consultation or adequate explanation—that the delivery has now been moved to 2 February 2026. This unilateral change is unacceptable and defeats the purpose of committing to advertised delivery timelines. I require: A clear explanation for the delivery delay. Confirmation of the revised delivery date being honoured. Immediate improvement or provision of an accessible customer support channel. Clarification on what recourse customers have when Takealot fails to meet its own service commitments. Should this matter not be resolved promptly, I will have no option but to escalate it through the appropriate consumer protection channels. I expect a formal response as a matter of urgency. Regards, Burton Brown 0824698029
