My nightmare experience with Leisure Cor is identical to that of Rina Boshoff. I purchased 20 Holiday Club points from Leisure Cor on 10 September 2010 at R 21’830-00 without any status feedback from them. After follow ups from my side, I was informed by Brigitta that all was under control. On 14 March I got a mail from Nicky McCulloch informing that the money for my transfer was never paid over from Leisure Cor and the sale would be cancelled. I called Brigitta and was told that they are in process of transferring the money. The... read full review »

I bought a car from Gert at Lyttleton Motors. Gert was not an MFC approved dealer so he did the deal through a partner in the industry. I am now paying double for this car and I was charged for a canopy that I never even got. It has given me nothing but problems. 3 months after I bought the car it overheated and I had to pay for a new head R10000 later. Went to the dealer and said to him the car is a piece of junk and I cant even frive it. I had no joy and eventually I sent in a written complaint to MFC who advised me that if I was not happy I... read full review »

I was not impressed by episode that aired on Tuesday 29 March 2011, with the introduction of Miles 's daughter Niki, she is supposed to come from Musina in Limpopo however the lady can not even speak Sepedi, Setlokwa or tshiVenda and I do not understand the reason media has to always down talk Limpopo as not so sophisticated or its people being wow 'ed by things in Gauteng. Niki was so impressed by the restuarant Portuguese restuarant Ponto and had to ask her whether aren't there such beautiful restaurant in Musina and Niki responded that not even in Polokwane for crying out loud stop it read full review »

My Hyundai Getz, 1.5 Diesel broke its cambelt. I took it to the Hyundai agents because they are supposed to be the experts. What a load of bull. Only after two months I received my car back. The motor sounds as if there is a tractor motor installed. The whole car shakes when it idle. It can not pull away from stand still without taking the refs up to 3500 rpm. 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 »

To whom it may concern I purchased a Magnum Almond ice cream from my local supermarket today, 2 April 2011. When I opened it, it had crystilized ice on the chocolate cover and the ice cream inside was cristilized already, losings its creamy velvety texture. Due to the price of this product, when I purchase one, I am expecting nothing but the best and was very disappointed to experience a product that was below the regular standards. I am not familiar with the procedure of complaints and therefore I have placed the remainder of the ice... read full review »

In 2003 I earned thousands of rands in eBucks. I have never used my eBucks and have in good faith left them there for a "rainy day". I was shocked to find out that FNB has been charging a dormancy fee every month. The dormancy fee is currently R75 per month. So FNB is literally claiming thousands of rands of dormancy fees from me since 2003 until now, April 2011. I am shocked to find this out, as I was never informed nor have I ever signed any documentation with any such declaration on it. I feel that FNB has been steeling funds from... read full review »

The sound in the speeches is terrible and there is about 15 minutes worth of footage of the party and our guests. The supplier... read full review »
