DONT hire Civic Centres

I hired the Wittebome Civic centre for a funeral. I paid upfront for 4 hours at R200 per hour and a Deposit of R1200.. This was mid-March 2019. To this day I have still not received my Deposit back!! I left that place spotless clean, not a broken chair..packed all the chairs away with the help of my kids. Washed all surfaces, swept floors. It was for a Funeral..Just 4 hours! Why cant they refund our Deposits more timeously?? I will Never recommend hiring these Civic centres to anybody for any kind of function with this lackadaisical attitude of their staff!
