@FNBSA @Rb__sa @wendyknowler @consumerprote17 @Radio702 BLAH BLAH BLAH! So not good enough. This long email with absolutely no solution to their silly little R 2.00 fees! It just rubs me up the wrong way! Stealing money for non FNB eft transactions?! Money grabbers!

@DStv @wendyknowler where does this leave premium subscribers who pay allot for all these channels! @DStv will have to reduce their subscriptions OR give options to downgrade to lower packages BUT include the MNET channel! Face it @DStv you gotta offer something in place! Right?
Replying to @DStv
@DStv @DStvCare does this mean a huge chunk of monthly premiums with be reduced? I am sure MILLIONS of premium subscribers are all asking the same questions! If not I think you will have a mass cancellation of loyal subscribers! 😢 So angry 😡

Plant poachers - paid by criminal syndicates - are wiping out our rare succulent species, creating huge demand for the plants in Europe, the US and especially East Asia, via social media. They take “this super strange looking thing that comes from Africa”, and name it Hot Lips or Fire Dragon..” This snippet of a BBC doccie is alarming and infuriating.
South Africa has become a hub for the illegal trade in protected plant species. During the COVID lockdown, foreign collectors turned to locals, leading crime syndicates to exploit the situation, organizing large-scale plant poaching.

@CityofJoburgZA so NOT a world class African city! No power since 9 am, inverters run out and now my Mother is struggling to breath! Why? Because @CityPowerJhb have not restored power when they were supposed to! ETR was 16.00 then 16.30… it’s now 17.35 and STILL NO POWER! 🤬

So my delivery arrived today. Took 8 days @wendyknowler @Makro_SA have no explanation for the delay? The app said order would be delivered on the 2 August. In the interim I had to buy from other retailers while waiting for my order! I think I am done with @Makro_SA @MassmartSA

So @Makro_SA do not care about their customers. They have for sure lost one here! These messages received, sorry is just not good enough! To use my experience to better themselves😂It is absolutely disgusting at how the entire situation was handled. No effort to redeem themselves

I have repeatedly complained about @MWEBTweets on Hello Peter, have had ZERO response from them. A massive disappointment as I have been an mweb customer for nearly 3 decades! Had bussiness accounts too! Their customer service was always good even when you lost it with them! 😢

@webafrica I figure YOU actually blocked my access to @MWEBTweets as I have always had excellent service from #mweb they were always attentive & extremely helpful! I had my hosting with @webafrica & left due to TERRIBLE customer service & had amazing service from @MWEBTweets !

@OneCartZA if you wish to keep customers I suggest you sort out these pricing issues with the relative stores! What’s more, alternatives are sometimes not every closely related to chosen products! Example, Kellogg’s frosties alternative options- bread crumbs? 😳

@OneCartZA @Makro_SA please can you explain why the case of 24 Coke Zero went from R 220 to R 260.00 OVERNIGHT?? And please can you explain why the Pepsi Max case of 12 costs MORE than regular Pepsi at R 76 for Pepsi max, R 67 for Pepsi!! @OneCartZA if you wish to keep customers

We are 🤬🤬🤬🤬thank you to our esteemed government for being complete imbeciles! Cannot run a country, providing essential services such as electricity and water seems to be way too much, never mind the crime and corruption!! Thank you @ANCParliament for totally screwing up SA!
#LoadsheddingUpdate Friday, 24 November 2023: It is with great regret that due to the shortage of generating capacity and emergency reserves, Stage 6 loadshedding will be implemented from 12:00 today until 05:00 on Monday. Eskom will publish a further communication today and continue to closely monitor the power system.
