How not to get your international transfer

I have guests from Lesotho pay me for accommodation in South Africa. Every time they try to transfer money to my Capitec account, there's a problem. Then I get an email to say I should call Capitec urgently. How about holding the phone for 45 minutes, then getting told that the call needs to be transferred and holding on some more and then losing the call. Meanwhile you are subjected to a continual "Your call is important to us and will be answered by the next available operator". I hate this and still don't have my money.

I was contacted by the designated official. She cannot deal with the problem, because she is with customer care, so she is (possibly) going to do the South African answer to ant issue which you cannot resolve: she's going to "escalate" it. The previous time this happened, the escalation went nowhere. I doubt that this will be any better. Why appoint a "designated official" who is unable to deal with a problem?
