Lately the last SAA Express flight of the day out of Gaborone and Namibia seems to be 1-3 hours late in a business as usual fashion. This is not a pleasant experience for a business traveller after a hard day's work, neither for a traveller having to catch a connecting flight in Jhb. The issue is not as such as being late, but certainly the airways can by default notify all travellers on the particular flight by arround 14ho0 on the day via sms that they expect the flight will be running and hour or more late, so that the traveller can... read full review »

Good day I want to lodge a complaint against the KFC in Lyttelton, Centurion, South Africa. I went there today (22 April 2008 at 12h50) to get myself something for lunch. I went through the drive thru. When I got to the 1st window, the lady told me that they’ve run out of lettuce. So, this mean they could not make any burgers, twisters etc. I was upset, because I wanted a Twister meal. At the end I had to pay the full amount for a “half twister meal”. When I got to the window to collect my meal, the lady stated to me... read full review »

On 25 Setember 2007 I purchased a ticket from the SAA hub at JHB Airport for an amount of GBP586. The ticket was a fully refundable one way ticket from London to JHB, leaving on 13 January 2008. I subsequently cancelled the ticket via the London SAA Office and was given a reference number for the refund. I was told that I could only claim the refund from the SAA hub at JHB Airport - notwithstanding that I am currently resident in the UK. I was visiting family in South Africa recently and on 1 April I went to the SAA hub to claim my... read full review »

On 2008/04/18 I was at the drivethrough at the KFC in Welkom. As there were no attendant at the order kiosk I drove on to the cashiers window to place my order.

Naturally I refused because there were already six vehicles behind me and on my first round the attendant there were absent. I relayed this to the person at the cashiers window and after a heated discussion and back chat, my order were eventually taken. On previous occasion I ordered a... read full review »

I have rented a cottage on a farm (Lot62017 Emerald Hill and when I looked at the cottage I noticed that windows were broken and the bath door was being eaten by termites. I was informed that all this would be fixed up, well nothing was done and three months down the line still nothing. I have a leaking roof (thatch) so everytime it rains I have to move my furniture so it does not get wet. I have not not paid my rent for April, as I feel that as they knew about the problems, not only in my cottage but also my daugher's cottage for +-... read full review »

We recently made a purchase through Alibaba for two Sony Bravia TV's, of course the payment was made done through all the right channels and facilitated by Alibaba who guaranteed insurance of up to $10, 000. Naturally we felt covered and confident that Alibaba would facilitate the deal. My complaint lies with alibaba and not with the con artist who ripped me off. how can this website act as a facilitator, promise cover of up to $10 000 then when the trouble hits the fan, claim that they had nothing to do with the deal nor did they... read full review »

I am a MTN client since 1993 and as the years go by the service has become worst and worst to such an extend I am contemplating closing all business with them. The reason for this is my present experience dealing with MTN. I applied for a Data contract which includes a laptop modem and data card. The sales person, Amanda Beasley, was what I thought very helpful and efficient, but little did I know what was to come from the business deal. After my credit check and signing contract the modem and data card was courier in a flash; the laptop... read full review »

Claremont VW and VWSA have sold me a brand new car that started rusting from 4 weekd after taking delivery. Since then, the car has been back approx. 7 times for rust repairs/body work issues and general bad quality of workmanship. It has reached the point now where they "repaird" body work issues, but they have completely stuffed up the boot. It no longer aligns with the body and sets the alarm off at random times. Claremont VW and VWSA now refuse to rectify the damage they have done and refuse to return my calls or even speak to me. I unfortunately do not have the money to go to a lawyer and i suspect that they know this. read full review »

I'm not sure whether writing this letter will have any effect in improving the service of SAA or maybe just relieve myself of bundled agitation of dealing with continuous incompetence of bumbling idiots as found in SAA mainly ground staff I may add.

This was soon dispelled as going to be smooth, as there was of course 1 individual manning a check-in... read full review »

I bought a 3 Boxed DVD Complete series set from the DVDCraze.com company that insists it has state of the art TV series on DVD. It took 4 months to get to me, cost me $90 and what I got were 8 episodes of what I wanted on 8 DVD's taken off a New Zealand TV station, complete with commercials and bits of a TV series I didn't ask for as an added bonus. I want what I paid for. Not what I got. But I have been told that the Warranty for anything I order is 3 months.
