Money blocked by Capitec

On the 2nd Dec there was money that was sent into my account. Capitec flagged this as *****. When I asked them what's going on I was told that my account is linked to an account suspected for *****. I was told to submit an affidavit, proof of payment and a copy of my ID. I submitted all those on the same day (5th). Till today I have not received any feedback. When I enquired in the week I was told it could go on for as far as next year. Another agent said there's no turnaround time, another said 21 to 30 days. Now I am sitting here frustrated because I already have debits that are bouncing and charges. We are going into the festive and this is money I need to use. To make matters worse I see Dr's (3) for follow-ups every 2 weeks, medical aid is exhausted so I pay out of pocket. I can't confirm my appointments which should be next week because that too is at a standstill. Can Capitec please release my money.

Hello Capitec, honestly I'm tired of being given the runaround. It didn't take for you to block my money but now there are investigations over investigations. On Monday you told me cases like these take 3
To 5 working days, day 5 came and went and there
Was no feedback and my money's still blocked. Today I followed up and I'm told a follow up
Email has been sent to ***** and I need to wait anothe
another 3 business days for ***** to respond.
That's unacceptable, is anyone even looking at those case? Ps: I now have 1 account (and counting) that was handed over. I'm definitely closing this account after all this.
