South African Airways Vogayer
Evadne Haines April 20, 2011
On January 13th, 2011 I booked 2 flights from Cape Town to Durban using SAA Voyager miles. I was quoted an amount of R306 per person for airport taxes. The amount of R482 per person was subsequently deducted from my account. (It would have been cheaper to fly on Kulula!!) I have written SEVEN letters to SAA Voyager - enclosing all the documentation requested - and have not had a single response. This surely amounts to fraud!! Mrs E. Haines read full review »

SABC / VVM Inc
Hmb500 April 15, 2011
My mother recently received an sms stating that she owes the SABC R5553 for a TV licence apparently taken out in 1998... The sms was on behalf of VVM Inc for the SABC stating that she would be black-listed. The problem is that my mother has never taken out a TV licence in her ID nr or in her name, such things are in my father's name. And any such licences were fully paid until we sold the house with all its furniture. The licence was apparently taken out nearly 13 years ago... Do they really expect anyone to keep proof of... read full review »

My name is Joseph. My friends and I have been renting out a unit in GoldReef Sands Complex (Unit 16) and my friends and I paid a deposit of R5600. However when we moved out, our deposit was never paid back to us by the owner as he believes that we paid our deposit to the agent by the name of Fatimah. His argument is that when the agent resigned or left, she did not hand over the deposit (all particulars) to him as the owner and as such the agent should have given us our desposit when she resigned. Now we don't know where the agent is a... read full review »

All of this cost me a whole R17 139. Now the Whorkshop Manager tell me that it is supposed to be like that. For my R17 139 I must be happy with this very poor workman ship. It... read full review »
