@JLRSouthAtlanta My wife brings her car in for a paid service assessment, receives quote for R47k for work not done by JLR for 5 years and is told payment is required before any other work is done.
Is this even legal? Not sure many would buy a Jag if that’s policy and they knew.
@BarclaysUK Are there any human beings still working at Barclay? 12 calls of over 5 minutes each, hanging on to the phone an nobody answers. These numbers were given to me on e mail by Barclays. Customer service? Non existent.
@Leon_Schreib SAPS members are operating in and around the Department of Home Affairs in Alexandra, Sandton, soliciting bribes from people who are SA citizens but were born outside SA.
A colleague of mine was put through this disgusting treatment yesterday.
Scandalous.
@Leon_Schreib A colleague refused to pay a R5k bribe to SAPS so was taken to Alex Home Affairs.
Now has to take time off work & get documents to prove she’s a SA citizen.
They threatened to freeze her bank accounts.
She has a SA passport.
All because she wouldn’t pay a bribe.
@Leon_Schreib
Today, one of our staff was arrested by SAPS in Alex bcs "she looked foreign" After a failed bid to extract a R 5k fine, she was taken to Home Affairs in Alex.
Now summoned to appear before the DG.
She's a citizen & has a SA passport
Is extortion standard practice?
@michaelcowen100@AllisonPearson I think you are missing the point. The sentence was disproportionally harsh. The way the law is framed she undoubtedly broke it but the sentence is inappropriate.
@Cynfab3@1GarethWynJones Very proud of my Welsh heritage even though I was born in England and now live in South Africa.
Triggering the English is so easy and such fun.
Don’t try and stop it.
@AbsaSouthAfrica@ndm1964 ABSA is no better. Been trying to close an account for nearly 3 years.
A simple task you would think. Nope. I’m sure it’s a policy so that they keep monthly charges.
Each e mail I send illicits a reasonable response, then nothing.
Shameful
@Timinlongbeach@elonmusk If you watch soccer in South Africa, the demographic changes.
Not surreal, just different people enjoying their preferred sport.
@poppapete299 Like most things in life it’s fairly easy to avoid the bad bits
I don’t post very often and don’t even read a lot but I do enjoy your Posts from the Potteries.
