Good day I hope you will be able to assist me. I phoned Hollard on 18 February 2010 to take out a Funeral policy mainly for my Dad. My mom passed away in January. I spoke to Miranda Ngongoshe on February 18 from 09H43 -10:12 to take out the policy. She said it can only start the 1st April and the amount R218.

She will email me the policy and post it to my home address, if I am not happy then I can still... read full review »

Firstly, I sympathise to this person as I know how you feel - http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/durban-central-panel-beater-c197533.html I had an attempted Hi-Jacking but my car, Toyota Corolla RXI, was saved thanks to a quick response by the witnesses around.

Last year I hunted in SA and harvested several animals. I contracted Derek Robinson Taxidermist, in Thabazimbi, South Africa to prepare the trophies to be shipped to the United States to be mounted.

The SA taxidermist states that they shipped the skull but upon inspection of the crate, it is very apparent that there was no room for the missing item. I requested the name of their legal counsel or claim department but they would not... read full review »

Bought a new base and Mattress. Complained two days after delivery - unable to sleep on mattress.

Chief Ops Officer in Durban has taken the decision that we will not get a replacement mattress. Talk about a bunch of con artists and a total rip off. read full review »

I eat in restaurants very very often. The last 9 orders at Parys KFC has something wrong ranging from incomplete orders to products beyond the sell by date - like in long beyond. Today I was told that I will have to wait outside for 15 min for my order. After 23 minutes and only 3 customers I went inside and they did not even start with my order. I had no other option than to request my money back as I did not had another 15 minutes to wait in the sun. I am sure KFC can not afford to have franchises doing this to their name. Well some other franchises in Parys is just as bad - perhaps the problem is Parys read full review »

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 »
