Mtn gprs
Miles Sharpe March 11, 2010
Since 1000 hrs on 10 march 2010 tower number 655 Moot Chichens has not had any connection. I have tried 3 mtn cellphones and the only result I get is `emergency use only` Trying to get any help from customer care is useless as they keep telling me to call from a landline. I use cellphones to not need a land line. Once before I was told that they would email the networking division and within an hour the problem was solved. Why do customer care refuse to do it again. I have been using mtn since 1994 and used to be happy with the service. I use... read full review »

If a was not satisfied i would get a 30 day money back guaranteed. To date nothing. Not even a response from the website complaints. Quickpaid Surveys is a big scam. Quick to take our money, but no results thereafter. I am with quickpaid surveys now for about a month and not one survey. Please return my money.

Netcare Blaauwberg
Rampant March 2, 2010
Netcare Blaauwberg's ICU is terribly understaffed. Though they have some fantastic staff there, they have very few qualified ICU nurses/sisters and it shows in the amount of care they provide. During the day (visiting hours) the place is swarming with attentive staff. At night they are on a skeleton staff. Their doctors are overworked and have no time to inform patients and their loved ones of critical issues directly affecting them. I would stay clear of the Mickey-Mouse operation. read full review »

Nats February 24, 2010
I would just like to make a comment. The day after the budget speach, when the minister of finance announced the increase in sin taxes, retailers decided that it is a good idea to immediately raise the prices of their ciggarettes. The increase is only effected from 1 March 2010. In other words, retailers like P&P and Spar are acctually stealing from their customers, by raising their prices immediately (dont think that that extra taxes for those 10 days are going to the government!) Now most people (non-someker) would say that that i... read full review »
