I would like to advise customers, buyers and all that use the JHB Market not to buy from SubTropico with specific to an agent by the name of Yolande Ferreira. Yolande Ferreira sells sub-grade, damage products, and these products are not fit for human consumption. When you confront Yolande Ferreira about this, Yolande Ferreira states that there’s nothing wrong with her products that she sells, and that all the products are within specific specifications and she receives them in good order from De Wet Fruit in Ceres. Yolande Ferreira always shifts the blame to you as the buyer. I have previously bought products from Yolande Ferreira and the product were apples from De Wet Fruits in Ceres. Yolande Ferreira insures-that the samples that she put out for display is immaculate and of first class quality without any blemishes. The first time I bought from Yolande Ferreira she caught me by saying don’t worry I’ll send your stock. Trusting Yolande Ferreira I did not check what she sent me and placed this stock in my warehouse. Sent the stock out to the ****as industry the Monday and my salesman were bringing the stock back as it was all damaged. Took the stock back to Yolande Ferreira she had a mouthful and said she cannot assist. Once I told Yolande Ferreira that I was going to make her famous on social media she quickly changed her tune and gave me a new product. I unfortunately was in hospital and one of my staff members went and purchased products from Sub Tropica. He was told the same as I was that she will send the stock. After my first experience with this inadequate agent and dishonest agent Yolande Ferreira , i vowed not to buy from them again, but unfortunately, due to my hospitalization, my staff utilize this ************ company Subtropico. Yolande Ferreira further does not want you to select your own boxes and states that she will send them out to you as Yolande Ferreira is fully aware of what she is doing, that she is sending you sub grade product not fit for human consumption. These products are coming from the De Wet Fruit and Transport Company in Ceres. I tried contacting De Wet Fruits from Ceres with the number that they’ve got printed on the boxes. Can you believe theses numbers don’t exist. Clearly they don’t want to contact them with regards to there sub standard products full of insect stings. They don’t want Customer and consumers to have there correct details as they fully aware of the quality they supply. Eventually I got the correct contact number for De Wet fruits in Ceres from another agent as Subtropico management and Yolande Ferreira was not prepared to do algae this information. I spoke to Bonita from De Wet Fruit in Ceres. She states that they buy the fruits from farmers and pack the fruit. Somewhere they should have quality control system and discard sub standard insect sting products. However, if you are a supplier to the market, you should ensure that the quality of the product that you’re sending which is packaged in your own boxes should be of a standard that is fit for human consumption. Sub Tropica management basically pull up their arms and state that they believe or trust in what Yolande Ferreira is saying. Yolande Ferreira is a ripoff, ***** and Yolande Ferreira should not be allowed to trade as an agent either by Subtropico or the JHB Market. Yolande Ferreira should not even be allowed to trade as an assistant due to her dishonesty, untrustworthiness and un scrupulous practices. The JHB Market management as well as Subtropico should have barred such unprofessional and dishonest trading. The JHB market has a company called Procon doing inspections on products. They should disbar Subtropico from trading with these sub standard products or are they being paid to close their eyes. I will never support Subtropico and will advise all other buyers to do the same and teach this company a lesson for selling substandard products.
