WARNING: DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS – PAYMENT MADE, GOODS NEVER DELIVERED!
WARNING: DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS – PAYMENT MADE, GOODS NEVER DELIVERED! I would like to share my extremely disappointing experience with Drive Control Systems (Pty) Ltd, under the management of Dane Nel, Managing Director. We placed an order with this company and made full upfront payment of R39,100 on 31 July 2026, trusting that the goods would be delivered within the promised timeframe. Unfortunately, the goods have still not been delivered. Every time I followed up, I was given another explanation. Initially, I was told that the supplier was experiencing delays. After numerous follow-ups, Dane Nel advised that he would source the item from a different supplier and provided further assurances regarding delivery. Despite these promises, we have received neither the goods nor a refund. Communication has now completely stopped, and my repeated attempts to obtain feedback have gone unanswered. What is even more concerning is that I have since become aware of another company called Switch Gear, which I believe may be connected to Dane Nel. This raises serious concerns for me, and I would appreciate clarification regarding his involvement in this business. It is unacceptable for a company to accept full upfront payment, repeatedly promise delivery, and then stop communicating with its customer. We are now demanding either immediate delivery of the goods or a full refund of R39,100. I am sharing this experience to warn other businesses and individuals to exercise extreme caution before making upfront payments. Dane Nel, I urge you to take responsibility, respond to our communication, and resolve this matter immediately. We have been patient long enough. We expect accountability, transparency, and our money or goods.

AVOID DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS (PTY) LTD
AVOID DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS / DANE NEL I paid Drive Control Systems for goods that were never delivered. After posting my original review, Dane contacted me regarding the review and promised to refund my money AND send the outstanding parts by 31 August 2026. Based on those assurances, I removed my reviews and gave him another opportunity to resolve the matter. He did not honour either commitment. I have received neither the promised refund nor the outstanding parts. Myself and our office have repeatedly attempted to contact Dane by WhatsApp, telephone and email. We continue to receive excuses and promises, but no resolution. I have retained proof of payment, invoices, correspondence and Dane's written commitment to refund the money. The facts are simple: I paid for goods, they were not delivered, a refund and delivery were subsequently promised by 31 August, and neither happened. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding Drive Control Systems and would not make any upfront payment to this company. If the money or goods are eventually received, I will update this review accordingly.
