		<description>I agree, Claudine.  They could train a bunch of monkeys to be call centre operators and the result would be the same. 

However, I know it&#039;s a job where they have to take a lot of crap from customers every day and I know I couldn&#039;t do that job, but if for once they can put themselves in our (the customer&#039;s )shoes and not just see it as a job where they can pass the buck!

BTW Vodacom eventually sorted out my problem.</description>

		<description>Well imo I think this country is sadly lacking in any kind of training for our call centre operators, which is probably where your email went to.  There is no such thing as customer service, except to get nailed.  So, keep that bottle of vaseline next to your nightstand, you might need it!

Oh and same thing happened to my fil at the end of January, also purchased some data time, expired 2 days later.  It took my husband calling their Vodacom consultant to light a fire under someone&#039;s butt before anything was done.</description>

		<description>We are rural family living in Ncera villages , Village Number -3 , Kidds Beach , East London Jurisdiction area. We are being victimised by Eskom since 2004 until March 2010. We are forced on a particular service type ( Conventional Type )of electricity that is far more expensive for rural people.We want to be converted to Pre - Paid meter type. We want to:
- avoid network charge ( R274.04 )
- avoid estimated readings on our consumption.
- buy electricity as we need it.
This oppression by Eskom has now been going on for many years. We now have enough. We cannot allow it to continue any more.
Please assist.

To contact us , please phone -( 043 ) - 735 1820 or 082 699 8747. N.E KAMENI</description>
