Zodiac Driving School Kuilsriver

Zodiac Driving school wont do lessons paid for after 26 months

Karen van Lill aka Blondie operates Zodiac driving school in Kuilsriver and Brackenfell. She also operates a scholar transport in these areas. My son paid her R3000 at the end of March 2022 for 10 lessons. Only 3 were completed. The reasons for not completing the lessons varied from a dog bite, to her daughter being pregnant and she was going with to attend a sonars to illnesses. A tracing agent was used, and the summons could not be delivered to the address in Kavalier Street Jagtershof Kuilsriver as Karen apparently no longer live there. The delivery could also not be made to her daughter in Disa street Blomtuin Bellville as no one opened the gate. The instructors at Kuilsriver traffic department from where she normally does tests, confirmed she still does lessons and often uses the facility. The driving school is not registered. Karen does not have a PDP for scholar transport. Karen, in various 10-minute voice notes gave long stories that no driving school has a written agreement for lessons and that refunds are not made. The tracing agent, sheriff, interest for 26 months and registered mail cost has amount to about R12 000. Karen has not registered her business with SARS nor is there an application for scholar transport with the department of education. It would be easier to just refund R2700. Sadly her business ethics is very questionable. Case nr SC106/24 - Bellville Small claims court
