Never delivered wooden kitchen countertop, will not refund deposit

I employed the services of Quinton Griessel of Dencor Projects SA (Pty ) Ltd (reg ***) on 06 Sep 2018, to construct and install a wooden kitchen island countertop at my home. I paid R3000 deposit immediately and Quinton informed that it would take a week to make and install. 06 Sep: Paid deposit R3000. 14 Sep: Had an appointment to install but he never arrived. 26 Sep: After repeated messages saying he was on track to install, never arrived. 04 Oct: Never arrived for 3rd installation appointment. 12 Oct: Agreed to refund my R3000 deposit. 15, 16, 18, 23, 24 Oct: Repeatedly promised to do the refund – not done. I am now pursuing the option of recovering my deposit via the Small Claims Court. This man has repeatedly **** about being on route to install the countertop and repeatedly failed to honour his undertaking to refund the deposit that he received. He has ignored my telephone calls.
