WARNING TO WOMEN CLIENTS

I went to the store in Strubensvalley to purchase something in August 2023. An African guy approached me saying if I need someone for a fix in the house I can speak to him because he can do everything, e.g. tiling, painting, gardening etc. He works in the garden dept at the store. I asked him to fix my small room's skirtings. I bought new ones and bought the stuff he needed to do the work. He arrived with 4 friends whom he said they all work at the store, 3 of them I did see there. They arrived after 18:00 pm as he stated that's the only chance he have. He manipulated me in the name of helping to do my garden and painting, though I didn't want him to. He removed the landscape in the gardens, 3 of these gardens' length is the room's size. I asked for the price because I didn't budget for it. He said I must not worry they want to help me. But I told him there's nothing for mahala, he repeatedly told me they are helping. He messed my floor from the 1st day, the sides of the windows until now it is not fixed. The flowers died and the bricks for the landscaping are still lying on the ground. I called him to fix the mess. He arrived at the same time and messed again. Have been doing that until the end of November. After the 2nd visit he asked for R2000.00 and I asked for what. He told me it's the deposit of the work he'll be doing, the total is R4500.00. I instructed him to leave everything as it is because it's not planned and I don't have money but he told me he'll do everything then with R2000.00. I kept on asking what is the money for, I called him for one thing what's the labour charge of it, he refused to tell me.on their last day in November they were 4. He has been asking for money for more than 30 minutes and was asking what for, after that argument his friends came into my house shouting in one voice, telling him he's wasting their time, they can go if he's not winning with me. On 13/12/2023 I took the matter to the management. They requested that I send an email with invoices promising to investigate the matter and advise me thereafter. I made a follow up with this guy's manager on whatsapp. He read my message but never responded. On 26/02/2024 I went to the store for follow up. All he told me is that they've decided not to involve themselves into the matter, the guy said I'm his girlfriend, but not sure if a current or ex-girlfriend, he met me at a funeral, I must find out more of the info from him but he's on lunch. I can go to police station to open a case for him and come back. What a traumatic statement made by a man who am I an aunt to according to my age. He undressed and ****d me in his imagination, no wonder he couldn't see anything wrong to make such a bold statement with confidence, and management believed it. This guy is threatening me saying if he loose the job I must know it's me. I didn't asked for him to be fired but to pay me back all the money he wasted and that I'll spend to fix the mess he did.
