I would like to share the nightmare we experienced with Emirates Airline. My husband who is a national from India but married and living in South Africa decided to travel with emirates for a short holiday to India. He left SA and had no problems with his visa but when he arrived back to SA he was told that his visa was not proper. We could not understand how he left the country initially and the emirate airline did not pick this up but only on arrival back home they discovered this. He was sent back to India (without meeting his wife and child... read full review »

I am an ex-employee of Prime Cure. I started working for Prime Cure in 1998 at Pietersburg. In february 2000 I requested a transafer to any Eastern Cape branch which is nearer home because my home is in the EC. I was transferred to kwaNobuhle and then later to East London. All along we were working smoothly with Prime Cure until I got to East London. There I was not seeing eye to eye with the manager Mr Grobler Chris and that led termination of my duties. I got employed by the Dept of Health EC and OSD as forthcoming in 2007 and as part of the... read full review »

The laptop that i purchached on a my meg 250 package in april 2009 was advertised with features 2048 mb memory and 250 gig hard drive, but the laptop i recieved only had a 1024mb memory and a 120 gig hard drive.

I always thought Vodacom was supposed to be a service provider and provide good and adaquet service to their customers, I can name more than a hundred people in our area that struggle with Vodacom signal and who have reported it numerous times and still no answer. Everyone is changing to MTN. How can MTN have good reception here and vodacom not? Most of us use 3G modems, with vodacom as an Internet service provider, And maybe its possible to be online 4 days out of a week. How are we supposed to run a business properly if we cant email... read full review »

Pixel Magic systems introduced the high definition product MB100 (media box). Initial support and feedback was good as the product had some software bugs but in a short space of time thereafter, they became extremely quite. I've personally logged complaints on the forum and sent emails to their HQ - all being ignored. Whilst this company still sells other products, their ethics are shocking as they have taken peoples money and literally are just leaving everyone in the dark. These guys need to come to the party or they should be marketed... read full review »

I discovered my rental deposit not being returned tome from the Owner(he was holding the deposit), only 6 months after we moved out of the house, due to the agent keeping quiet that she had not had the deposit returned to use a deposit on the next place we rented.

Therefore the agent kept quiet about this for 6 months until I brought it up with... read full review »
